Dallas Clinical Leadership
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!
