SPRINGFIELD, VA… SPARKS ABA, a provider of LEARN Behavioral, celebrated the opening of its new Springfield Learning Center by hosting a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 5501 Backlick Road, Springfield, VA 22151.

SPARKS ABA is Virginia’s premiere contemporary applied behavior analysis (ABA) provider of center-based autism services for children and adolescents ages 18 months to 15 years. The Backlick Rd. Learning Center is SPARKS ABA’s second location in Springfield.

Hosted by the Mount Vernon Springfield Chamber of Commerce, the ribbon-cutting celebration was held on June 4, 2026.

During the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Holly Hicks Dougherty, President of Mount Vernon Springfield Chamber of Commerce, and Dr. Ricardy Anderson, Fairfax County School Board, shared greetings and remarks.

“We’re proud to expand our reach and bring compassionate, high-quality ABA therapy to even more families in the greater Springfield area,” said Kayla Bagnato. “This new space is designed to support both individual growth and peer collaboration. It’s a place where children can gain essential skills—and where their journey toward success in school and life begins.” 

The new Springfield Learning Center offers center-based ABA services, SPARK Saturdays (social skills group), and parent education/training. Key features of the Springfield Learning Center include a gross motor space for physical and social development and Launchpad Learning, an innovative school readiness program for children ages 3 to 6.

With Launchpad, half the day involves group activities with a 3:1 staff-child ratio, developing team skills and independence, and the other half focuses on individual instruction to address personal growth areas.

Mark’s Moving & Storage Offers Flexible Warehouse Solutions That Grow with Business Needs

July 8, 2026 //  by admin

With expanded warehouse space in Grafton and Westboro, MA, Mark’s Moving & Storage is helping companies rethink warehousing by offering customizable storage and distribution solutions designed to scale as business needs change.

Businesses facing fluctuating inventory levels, relocation projects, seasonal demand, or supply chain challenges often discover that traditional warehouse leases don’t provide the flexibility they need.

Operating from its secure 90,000-square-foot warehouse facilities in Grafton and Westborough, MA, Mark’s Moving & Storage provides flexible warehouse space for manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, importers, exporters, contractors, and businesses of every size. Whether a company requires storage for a few days, several months, or many years, Mark’s creates customized plans that eliminate the constraints of long-term warehouse commitments.

“Every business has different storage and logistics requirements,” said Mark Silverman, Founder and President of Mark’s Moving & Storage. “Our goal is to provide warehouse solutions that adapt as our customers grow, relocate, expand, or streamline operations. We become an extension of their business.”

Unlike traditional warehouse providers that offer rigid contracts, Mark’s assigns each customer a dedicated storage consultant to develop a storage and logistics plan tailored to their specific operational needs. Customers can easily increase or decrease their warehouse footprint without being locked into unnecessary space or lengthy lease agreements.

The company’s warehouse serves as more than just storage space. Businesses can also utilize the facility as a distribution hub, allowing inventory to be received, stored, managed, and shipped from one centralized location. Mark’s fulfills warehousing requests quickly and efficiently while providing distribution and shipping services that help companies improve inventory management and customer service.

Warehouse storage offers significant advantages over traditional self-storage facilities, particularly for businesses managing inventory, equipment, production materials, or large commercial assets. The secure warehouse environment provides centralized inventory control while supporting efficient distribution and transportation operations.

Security remains a top priority. The Westborough facility features around-the-clock monitoring and professional warehouse management, giving customers confidence that their inventory and equipment remain protected while remaining readily accessible for distribution.

Beyond warehouse services, Mark’s Moving & Storage offers a comprehensive suite of relocation and logistics solutions, including commercial moving, packing, long- and short-term storage, specialized transportation, and international relocation services. This integrated approach enables businesses to work with a single provider for both relocation and ongoing warehousing needs.

June 23, 2026 //  by admin

Seminar at Cohasset Senior Center set for Thursday, July 30 at 1 pm

Many of us have worked so hard, perhaps attended college (or beyond), and made many sacrifices. Yet, it is easy to be chewed up by shifting technology, corporate consolidation or office politics. Now that you are of a certain age, what is next? Thoughts about volunteering, hobbies, health, and personal goals? Segueing to a career of greater meaning?

A seminar titled “Senior Encore. Planning your next chapter.” will be held at the Cohasset Senior Center, Willcutt Commons, 91 Sohier Street, Cohasset, MA 02025 and is set for Thursday, July 30 at 1 pm. The seminar will be led by Mike Dwyer of Emplana, a career consultant. 

You survived office politics. You mastered Zoom (mostly). You outlasted at least three corporate reorganizations. Surely you can figure out what’s next — with a little help.

Whether it’s meaningful work, consulting, volunteering, or finally doing something you actually enjoy, this seminar will help you map it out — without the corporate jargon or 40-hour weeks.

After a long career in the private and public sectors, consulting stints with Ernst & Young and Deloitte Consulting and a Master’s Degree in Management from Salve Regina University, Michael Dwyer and a select group of advisors developed Emplana, the career pathway. 

Emplana Career, based at Cambridge Innovation Center, primarily helps seniors discover their next chapter and white-collar professionals, especially in tech, financial services and accounting, law, risk, and professional services.
