Philadelphia Clinical Leadership Team
Lauren Haley, M.Ed, BCBA, LBS
Clinical Director
Lauren entered the field of Applied Behavior Analysis through her internship with the Southeastern Pennsylvania Autism Resource Center in September 2011. Through her work there, she fell in love with the impact that was possible through the science, and pursued her Masters in Education with a concentration in ABA. Lauren learned her Masters from Temple University in August 2014 and became a Board Certified Behavior Analyst later that year. Since then, Lauren has had the privilege in gaining extensive experience across home, community, residential, center, and school settings. She has worked with individuals aged 18 months to 30 years old who present for therapy with a wide-range of skills and goals for themselves.
Lauren believes in a values-based, trauma-informed, and compassionate approach to behavioral therapy. She strives to learn more daily to ensure that all learners entrusted to her are receiving neurodiversity affirming care. She believes that the goal of therapy should be to establish skills which will help clients live their most authentic and fulfilling lives in alignment with their personal and family values.
Ian McGarvey, M.A., BCBA
Regional Clinical Director
Ian McGarvey has been working in the field of ABA since 2011, starting as a behavior technician. Ian had intended on returning to graduate school for sport psychology but fell in love with working in the field both for the science and the clients. Ian graduated with his master’s degree in Applied Behavior Analysis from Ball State University in May of 2013, and became a Board Certified Behavior Analyst in the same month. Ian joined the Michigan Behavior Frontiers team in September 2023. Prior to Behavior Frontiers, Ian worked with various populations, both in traditional ABA settings as well as in one-on-one consulting settings. Ian has also worked in a clinical director capacity for the last 6 years, coaching both practicum students and BCBAs to be successful supervisors.
Regarding clients, Ian’s passions include early functional communication training, trauma informed and compassionate care, and implementation of skills-based treatment and universal protocols. Ian also takes passion in coaching and mentoring other BCBAs. Ian’s philosophy when overseeing ABA services is that all services are client-centered and client-led. Ian’s favorite quote comes from B.F. Skinner and Ogden Lindsley: “The learner is always right.” Our behavior is a product of our environment, and we always have control to modify our environment to make sure our client’s and staff’s needs are met to grow!
