I’m Tom Caffrey, an AI and technology consultant and a former teacher and behavior analyst. My work has focused on helping children with autism and other developmental disabilities, their families and teachers.
The edtech work started with my master’s in education, which focused on instructional technology. My 1999 master’s project was an asynchronous distance-training program for public-school teachers of children with autism. That same idea — use simple tools so people can learn and work where they are — has been at the center of what I do ever since.
For nearly twenty years, I presented workshops to teachers, families and school teams around the world. I used video case studies to show the principles of behavior analysis being applied effectively with children in real homes and classrooms. My strength is using technology to help people understand complex material—and, more importantly, see how to apply it in everyday situations.
It started at home. My daughter Alicia was diagnosed with autism at twenty-seven months, and learning what she actually needed changed the direction of my life.
I’ve always been fascinated by how technology can bridge gaps where services fall short. Then a car accident left me with a traumatic brain injury and real memory problems. I learned to use today’s tools to work around them, and today I’m more organized and productive than I was before the accident. Now I want to help others do the same.
Today I design the BehaviorDesk platform, which is coming soon, and I help people and small businesses use simple tools to take back control.
Less noise. Better practice. Simpler supervision. Clearer communication. More effective support.
The tool organizes; you decide.
I’m the platform designer of BehaviorDesk, a tool for teachers, families, and school teams. Amy Beekman, M.Ed., BCBA, leads the clinical side. I’ll share more when it’s ready.
I also help small businesses use today’s simple tools to stay organized and get more done. This offer is still taking shape. If you have something in mind, write to me and I’ll tell you honestly whether I can help.
How today’s simple tools helped me rebuild my life after a traumatic brain injury, and how they can help you too.
A practical session for people who feel their memory is starting to slip, and for the families and communities around them. You’ll see a simple setup you can actually use, and you’ll leave with a couple of strategies you can try the same day. No background in these tools is needed.
Dates and locations will be announced. If you’d like to be told when a session is offered, write to me at tc@tomcaffrey.com.
These workshops are educational. They are not medical advice or treatment, and they make no claim to improve memory or any health condition.
Hear directly from educators and parents whose classrooms and families were transformed.
“What clearly sets Tom apart is his ability to take very clinical information and make it understandable and immediately useful. The most effective trainer we have ever had work with our staff and families.”
“Tom was doing way more than teaching best practice procedures -- he was empowering us with the strength that only a loving father can convey. My daughter's behaviour, education, and social life has dramatically improved.”
“Now every child, every family, every school team that I work with — I work with through the lens of Tom's training.”
A glimpse of the experiences shared by families, educators, and specialists around the world.
“It was the day that changed our lives forever. Fast forward — Shane is now a very happy and content little boy and his speech has come on in leaps and bounds. Tom Caffrey went above and beyond to help my family when we were in desperate need.”
“It was through your trainings that our teams all got on the same page. Our students are thriving and our teachers remain inspired and focused. Thanks for making a big difference in the lives of so many!”
“Implementing the practical strategies covered in Tom's workshops completely transformed our child, our lives, and our household.”
