​Greetings! ​

My name is Jeff Rumbaugh, Owner and Consultant at The Translation Behavioral Consulting, LLC. I have been proudly serving adolescents and adults with varying disabilities and their families in the Dane County area for over 25 years.

 

During this time, I have taken different support roles, including: Residential Services Coordinator with a not-for-profit agency, Special Education Teacher, High School Soccer Coach, Employment Specialist & Job Coach, and as an Emergency On-Call Responder with The Crisis Team of Madison for many years. I also ran for Governor in 2019 and U.S. Senate in 2023 - as the only advocate for individuals with special needs in Wisconsin.

​​

As a political candidate, I learned how to address crowds and larger groups, and that familiarity, coupled with my natural skills as a teacher, give me the strength to instruct your staff how to better work with our Developmentally Disabled brothers and sisters. Agencies in the residential and vocational fields, public schools, businesses, and public safety can all call to set up proactive trainings on different aspects and scenarios to improve performance, understanding, and awareness amongst their staff.

 

At team meetings, on-the-job, or during respite activities, I have the skills to work with your son or daughter who is diagnosed with a neurological difference - and does not use words. I have a deep understanding of body language and subtleties, which allow important connections to form when other staff are still looking for answers.​​

​

In a confusing and understaffed system, my extensive experience and skills can help you and your loved ones make better, more informed choices  - have me join your support team and see.​​​

I speak Nonverbal, English, and Spanish.

​

Sometimes a good translator is all it takes!
