Mark Glicer earned his Bachelor’s degree in Engineering Geology from Texas A&M University in 1989.  Following graduation, he began a 30-year career in the environmental field where he was able to gain extensive experience in management, human resource coordination, personnel development, as well as dynamic team scheduling.  Mark and his wife have 3 adult sons, the youngest of whom is on the autism spectrum which has provided first-hand experience of the challenges individuals with autism and their families face as they navigate available services and the unique challenges associated with an autism diagnosis. This personal connection to ASD led Mark to embark on a shift in his career path, using his skills to benefit other caregivers of individuals on the spectrum.  Mark joined the KFAC administrative team in October of 2021 where he will oversee all human resource functions as well as management of staff and client scheduling.

Setareh “Star” Moslemi received her Bachelor’s degree in Speech Language Pathology and Audiology from University of Texas at Dallas in 2013; later receiving a Master’s degree in Special Education, behavior analysis emphasis,  from Texas Tech University in 2015. Ms. Moslemi’s journey of working with individuals with autism started with an internship during her Master’s program, and her passion for working with this population has not stopped growing. She received her certification in 2016 and worked as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) in an autism clinic for two years where she provided client case management, staff training, supervision, and mentorship to students seeking board certification, as well as newly certified BCBAs. During her second year as a BCBA, Star was promoted to Director of Research and Training, expanding her responsibilities to include staff training and supervision. These experiences, combined with her enthusiasm and passion for the field, have led her to continue her education at the University of North Texas as a candidate in the Behavior Analysis Doctoral program.  In addition to working on her dissertation, ‘Increasing caregivers' knowledge and skills on behavior analytic strategies through an audio-only training program’, Star joined the Kristin Farmer Autism Center team as a BCBA in June 2022.  When she isn’t studying or working, Star enjoys drawing, painting, and playing Piano!

Michael Siller, PhD, is a developmental psychologist studying how children with autism develop and learn. He is particularly interested in learning that occurs in familiar daily routines and natural environments. His research includes descriptive longitudinal studies to understand developmental mechanisms, intervention trials to determine efficacy, and implementation science to make evidence-based practices accessible to providers in the community. Dr. Siller published the first pair of longitudinal studies to show that responsive parental behaviors reliably predict the long-term (16-year) language gains in autistic children. He also completed two clinical trials evaluating the efficacy of Focused Playtime Intervention, a parent-coaching intervention aligned with the Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Intervention (NDBI) framework. Further, Dr. Siller co-founded an inclusive, university-affiliated laboratory preschool focused on autism and developed professional development programs for community-based preschool teachers. As the Executive Director of the UNT Kristin Farmer Autism Center, Dr. Siller strives to integrate clinical and educational services, and aims to support the implementation of evidence-based practices in community settings. He envisions a world in which children with or at increased likelihood for autism can access interventions promptly and transition seamlessly between intense clinician-delivered interventions, inclusive educational settings, and supportive learning environments at home and in the community. Dr. Siller’s research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health and numerous private foundations (e.g., Autism Speaks, The Far Fund, The Marcus Foundation). Dr. Siller co-edited the Springer Handbook of Parent Implemented Interventions for Very Young Children with Autism, and his articles have been published in leading journals.
