Meet Michael Maloney, Founder and CEO of LEARN Behavioral
Updated On
Michael Maloney, Founder and CEO of LEARN Behavioral, joins us to share about his early career in education and how a small consulting company grew into an organization that now provides autism services in over 17 states (23 with LEARN Academy). In this conversation, we also explore his insights about the changing landscape of services for families. Michael shares, “In the last ten to twelve years, there has been an absolute sea change. When we started, four states covered services, and now all 50 do. Parents often had to pay out of pocket, and few could afford to. The financial burden has lessened so significantly because of the growing awareness and advocacy.”
We’re excited to provide center-based services at our new Fayetteville, NC ABA Therapy Learning Center!

Launchpad Learning Program: Bridging the Gap Between ABA and School
Updated On
Introducing Launchpad: Guiding Young Learners Towards Group Success!
Our Launchpad program is an exciting opportunity for children with autism ages 2-6 who have made remarkable progress and skill development in a 1:1 environment and are ready to take the next leap toward thriving in a group setting.
Our program offers a balanced blend of supportive group interaction and one-to-one instruction. We understand the importance of a smooth and successful transition from early intervention and comprehensive 1:1 ABA services to group settings and have designed our program to bridge that gap.
Reach out to your local ABA provider to learn more about the Launchpad program.
Reducing Behavior Technician Burn Out
Updated On
Melissa Furman, a Clinical Director for Total Spectrum- Michigan West joins us to discuss the importance of staff retention in the field of ABA and to share her recent research that is looking to improve staff satisfaction and reduce turnover. We explore the importance of consistency for families utilizing services as well as the factors leading to burnout in the field. Melissa shared how her recent work is helping both these goals, “Implementing an incentive plan to increase positive descriptive feedback during field supervision creates a happier environment, fuels good work, and provides a space where BT’s want to come to work.”

Advocating for Your Family and Good, Contemporary ABA With Arfa Alam
Updated On
Arfa Alam is a senior manager at the Partnership for Public Service, a non-profit that envisions a dynamic and innovative federal government that effectively serves our diverse nation. Prior to joining the Partnership, Arfa performed labor human rights and social responsibility work in more than 40 countries in both the public and private sectors. Arfa joins us to share her experience and deep conviction for the appropriate care, and rights for all. She is the proud mother, wife, and sister of disabled and differently-abled individuals, including her two autistic sons, her husband who lives with early onset Parkinson’s disease, and her twin sister, who is deaf and was the first person in life to teach her about differences and empathy.
As she shares, “As a first-generation American, it is particularly important to me to bring awareness, acceptance, and inclusion to our communities for individuals with disabilities and neurodivergences.” Arfa’s passion for public service stems from her experience as a first-first-generation Muslim-American with special needs family members. We are grateful for the opportunity to have this discussion with Arfa and we look forward to having her with us again soon.
