Meet Kailani Bartley: The Heart of Falé Lā ABA
MA, BCBA, LBA
Managing Clinical Director Partner, Falé Lā ABA
Kailani Bartley brings the perfect blend of clinical excellence, compassionate care, to Falé Lā ABA.
As a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and Licensed Behavior Analyst (LBA) in Illinois, she has spent years working with children on the autism spectrum and their families, always with an eye toward building something better. Kailani is also proudly neurodivergent (ADHD) and has been open about how her own lived experience informs her practice. She has seen repeatedly that neurodiverse individuals whether clinicians, support staff, or client thrive when the right person, the right company, and the right role come together.
At Falé Lā ABA, she is building that alignment.
"I love my Samoan heritage, and that's why I selected to co-brand the clinic as Falé Lā ABA, which means 'House of Sun.' To build a place where families feel seen, where clinicians feel supported, and where clients can genuinely grow – that's the dream." Kailani is joined in this mission by her young daughter, her husband, and her mother, three generations of family support, reminding everyone who walks through the doors that this is a place built by a family, for families.
