Jordan has been passionate about working with children with special needs since her first internship as a sophomore in high school. Upon graduating from the University of Alabama in 2017, with a Bachelor’s Degree in Collaborative Special Education K-12, she became a lead teacher in a school for children diagnosed with various disabilities. While teaching, she found that all the parents of her students with autism consistently expressed their frustrations with wanting their child to receive ABA therapy but not being able to do so due to a combination of the limited number of clinics available and drastically long waitlists. After researching ABA and learning about how crucial the early intervention years are for ABA, she returned to school to become a BCBA and a resource to the autism community. She graduated from Ball State University in 2021 with a Master’s Degree in Applied Behavior Analysis with an Emphasis in Autism. Since beginning her journey into ABA, she has worked with children of various ages, ranging from toddlers to young teens. She believes that early intervention services best allow children to learn the tools they need to embrace the world ahead of them. She believes in teamwork and strives to help her families and children reach their full potential.

Rick Conway is passionate about creating a clinician-focused business model for Arches ABA therapy clinics. He has seen clinicians struggle with huge caseloads, long days of travel, and feelings of inadequacy as they have struggled to do a job that does not support success for them or their clients. When clinicians are supported and given a voice, they are better equipped to do their job and have a greater capacity to serve their clients and their families. This is the core mission of Arches ABA Therapy. Rick has spent the past 40 years, helping companies create change that was necessary to help them achieve their goals. He has identified and sharpened the core business principles that lead to organizational success: Aligned Expectations, Clear Concise Communication, Accountable and Measurable Processes, and Focused Leadership. His ability to identify a company’s strengths and weaknesses have allowed him to adapt and apply these principles to a spectrum of companies whose size, motivation, and methods differ but whose goals are similar. He is excited to be partnering with Clinical Directors, BCBAs, and RBTs to help children with autism expand their environments.
