Behavior Reimagined, LLC

There are not enough words in any language to describe the impact Feda Almaliti and her son Mu had on the world. Their relationship and their struggles inspired a movement to guarantee fully funded access to individualized care for people with autism. Behavior Reimagined would not exist without Feda’s work. I was blessed to know her and hope to honor her legacy with the work we do each day. My heart aches for each and every person feeling their loss today.

Women in Leadership Panel! Did you know that 86% of the behavior analytic field are women? Perhaps not given how many men own companies or fill up the management structure within the field of ABA. Having more and more opportunities to see women discuss their leadership in the field helps keep me centered as a female business owner and BCBA.

I had to be dorky and upload my latest BCBA certificate. At my last recertification my certificate got lost in the mail and it honestly felt weird to not have this updated document in my possession. One of the most exciting things I experienced when looking at this was seeing that my next recertification will reflect a decade of being a BCBA (and almost 2 decades in the field). It has been amazing to see this field expand and change so rapidly over the course of my education and certification. I used to go to conferences and know the names of 75% of the people in attendance. Now I’m lucky if I know 5% of the attendees. This rapid growth provides significant challenges but it also maintains my motivation and desire to keep moving forward on this path.
