Rachael Malawy M.S., BCBA received her bachelors in Speech Language Pathology and Audiology from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville in 2012 and received her masters degree in Behavior Analysis and Therapy from Southern Illinois University Carbondale in 2015. She is a brand new face to the Tri County Special Education Cooperative and is the district's first full time BCBA. She has over 7 years experience in the realm of behavior analysis and other related services. She has worked as an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapist in the homes of children and young adults with autism and other disabilities, as a behavior analyst at a day training facility and their relative CILA’s for adults with a variety of developmental disabilities including autism, as well as as a BCBA for a public school system for students with and without special needs. Working with numerous types of individuals, their families, other professionals, and organizations on supporting those individuals with disabilities behaviorally has provided her with much experience in the field of behavior analysis and allowed her to become knowledgeable in ways education alone can not provide. Rachael has experience and gained many skills from her roles as a mother, registered behavior therapist, behavior counselor, autism consultant intern, the state of Illinois Level 2 behavior analyst, and in her current role as BCBA in multiple settings. Areas of interest include Organizational Behavior Management (OBM), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).
