Hello my name is Katrina Marler.  I am the BCBA and owner of Successful Child. I oversee the clinical and administration duties of the company.  My favorite aspect of my day is being apart of the daily success’s of our kiddos and working with our amazing families. My passion and dedication to helping our community is evident in the environment I have created.  Successful Child was created out of my desire to offer an ABA company that enriches the therapeutic experiences with my belief that “children learn through play.” I am a mother to four sons, four dogs and have been married for 14 years.  I thoroughly enjoy being able to spend quality time with my family.

I enjoy ABA therapy because I have seen the results in the lives of the clients that I have been able to serve. I enjoy going fishing with my sons and eating whatever baked goods my wife is making.

My name is Caroline Kelley. I transitioned from the field of being a teacher for the past 8 years  to a RBT after finishing my masters in ABA in hopes of becoming a BCBA. My husband and I have 2 children and are expecting our 3rd boy soon! As  family, we enjoy spending time outdoors, watching movies, and taking mini trips. My love for ABA began when I started seeing the results of the students I worked with in the educational environment and fueled my desire to go back to school to pursue aba full time!
