NEW YORK , Dec. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the Council for Autism Service Providers (CASP) honored ABA Centers, the nation's fastest growing autism care provider, by partnering to ring the iconic Closing Bell at the New York Stock Exchange together. Lorri Unumb , Chief Executive Officer of CASP; Christopher Barnett , Founder & Chairman of ABA Centers; and his daughter, Madison Mulvey , were the official bell ringers during the 1 pm ceremony, marking an early close of the markets in preparation for the upcoming Christmas holiday. ABA Centers was founded as a testament to a father's love for his daughter, sparked from Mr. Barnett's personal experience attempting to acquire a diagnosis and then quality care for his own child, Ms. Mulvey, who spent years dealing with a misdiagnosis and missing out on the proper treatment that she desperately needed. What Mr. Barnett experienced as the parent of a child on the spectrum – the inadequacies, the lack of services available, and the long wait lists within the autism care system – were simply unacceptable. As a longtime healthcare entrepreneur, Mr. Barnett recognized that he already harnessed the infrastructure to effectuate real change within the autism care industry, so he set out to create a mission-driven organization, where every employee throughout the corporate and clinical teams is dedicated to making a lasting impact in the lives of autistic children and their families. "I hope that the sound waves of this bell ringing transcend the trading floor and serve as a rally call for quick, compassionate, and top quality autism care across our country," remarked Mr. Barnett. "Seeing CASP and ABA Centers on the New York Stock Exchange podium should encourage other decision makers and deal makers alike to find ways in which they can positively impact the autism care industry further because there are millions of children currently languishing on wait lists and missing out on the autism care that they deserve during the most crucial times." In 2024, ABA Centers achieved the following monumental milestones, which served to amplify its commitment to providing every kid in the country with world class autism care: ABA Centers debuted on this year's Inc. 5000 as the No. 5 fastest growing private company in America due to an outstanding revenue growth of 32,192 percent in the three-year period assessed for the list. A de novo and self-funded growth strategy set ABA Centers apart – and ahead – of thousands of other enterprises vying for a spot on this highly coveted line-up. The organization has carved out a self-sufficient path to success that has proven to be substantial and sustainable, without any private equity investment, nor any significant debt financing. This achievement was quickly followed by Mr. Barnett winning the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year 2024 National Overall Award. Mr. Barnett was chosen by an independent panel of nearly 40 judges from a pool of 214 Entrepreneur Of The Year regional winners, representing 185 companies across the US. His leadership in building ABA Centers into a remarkable business that demonstrates innovation as well as significant positive impact, providing hope for families and continuing to challenge the current autism care market, secured his win of this award. ABA Centers strengthened its footprint along the East Coast and expanded westward, now providing evidence-backed autism care in 34 service markets throughout 10 states. Within these markets, ABA Centers currently operates 26 physical autism care centers, with plans to open nearly 40 new locations throughout the coming New Year. "For mission-driven organizations like CASP and ABA Centers, this bell ringing ceremony offers a platform to amplify our message and highlight the importance of autism care, as well as the challenges faced by the autism community, to a robust and influential audience," stated Mrs. Unumb. Mrs. Unumb and Mr. Barnett were joined on the bell ringing podium by the C-suite of ABA Centers: Jason Barker ; Joseph Heilner ; Kristy Johnson ; Quatiba Davis; Michael Holohan ; Michael Holzum ; Michael Holzum, Jr. ; and Ted Bender ; members of The Christopher M. Barnett Family Foundation: Julie Barnett , Kaitlyn Mulvey , Madison Mulvey , and Kennedy Mulvey ; and Dan Unumb of the Autism Legal Resource Center.

So, just two days after assuming office, newly sworn-in ministers in the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance government cracked the whip on officers in their respective departments. Corruption in government transfers wouldn’t be tolerated, they said, nor would underperformance, among other things. Perhaps eager to show they were serious, they seemed to forget that it was the same Mahayuti government that had ruled the state for the last two and a half years. The new ministers were sworn in on December 15, during the winter session of the state legislature, and were assigned their portfolios on December 22. While some have assumed office, others are likely to take charge on Thursday, which is Margashirsha, an auspicious day. Here’s what some of them did on day one: ‘Aren’t you ashamed?’ When social justice minister Sanjay Shirsat turned up unannounced at a hostel for backward class students in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar on Tuesday, he was not impressed. He found walls with seepage, broken window panes, no running water, among other issues that made the hostel almost unlivable. “Aren’t you ashamed of this? Why don’t you come and stay here,” he roared at the officers in charge, in the full glare of the media, who had turned up to capture the moment. Shirsat, Shiv Sena spokesperson and MLA from Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, is a first-time minister. ‘No more bribes for transfers’ Revenue minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule, at a meeting of officers from his department, said he would put a stop to the bribes-for-transfers culture. “Appointments of talathis (local revenue officers in a tehsil) and district collectors, as well as postings from Mantralaya to Nagpur will not be done on (political) recommendations. Nobody can get a transfer for a fee,” he announced, at a function organised by Tarun Bharat newspaper in Nagpur, where he was felicitated on Tuesday. Bawankule, who is also Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) state president and a close aide of chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, was energy minister in the BJP-led government in 2014-2019. ‘Crack down on drugs mafia’ Minister of state for home Yogesh Kadam shook things up at a police station in Navi Mumbai, where he showed up unexpectedly and asked the officers what they were doing to tackle the drugs trade in the city. As a parting shot, he advised the officer in charge to crack down on the narcotics mafia. ‘More vessels for coastal patrolling’ Ports and fisheries minister Nitesh Rane (BJP), another first-time minister, met officers of his departments in Mantralaya and later told the media that he was raising the bar for his department. He hopes surprise visits will keep them on their toes. Rane, who took charge on Tuesday, also said more vessels would be procured for costal patrolling as coastal surveillance is a priority. ‘Let’s tackle teachers’ issues’ Education minister Dada Bhuse (Shiv Sena) convened a meeting of teachers and teaching staff at the government rest house in his constituency, Malegaon, and also asked them what challenges they were facing. ‘Will introduce elevated buses on ropeway’ Transport minister Pratap Sarnaik (Shiv Sena) turned sentimental as he moved into his new office in Mantralaya on Tuesday. Addressing the media, he recalled how he used to visit Mantralaya when he was 12 years old, to sell calendars and incense sticks to make a living. “We used to stay in Dadar and I used to come to Mantralaya wearing shorts to sell agarbattis and calendars to earn a living,’’ said Sarnaik. He also recalled driving an autorickshaw and selling omelet sandwiches in the 1980s. Sarnaik, who now owns a construction company and a hospitality business, is a four-time MLA from Owala-Majiwada constituency in Thane. He vowed to put a stop to political interference in the transfers of officers. “Transfers based on recommendations of political leaders will not be entertained in my department. I want to beat the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) into shape,’’ he said. Sarnaik said he wanted the transport department to introduce an “elevated bus transport system on a ropeway” in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, adding that Union surface transport minister Nitin Gadkari had said the state could get a central grant for this purpose. He said he would visit Karnataka to study the state transport system there.
