2023 Events

We are hitting the ground running in 2023!  From conferences and posters to professional clubs and practice issues, we are passionate about promoting quality and innovation in ABA. Here are some of the events we already have lined up.


APBA Annual Conference – Seattle, WA – Panel Presentation

March 9-11, 2023

Title: Company-wide Implementation of a Parent Training Curriculum 

ABA programs have historically emphasized parent training (Educating Children with Autism, 2001) and research continues to provide solid support for such endeavors (Deb et al., 2020; Postorino et al., 2017).  However, research also indicates a need to define parent training, identify essential components, and verify social validity.  This presentation will follow one organization’s efforts to do just that.  Participants will learn how to implement a standardized curriculum across an organization so that all parents have foundational knowledge in ABA.  The presentation will briefly review parent training research, identify available parent training curriculums, discuss the pros and cons for using a standardized curriculum, review the OBM strategies needed during the implementation process, highlight considerations based on healthcare coverage, and assess social validity from both parents and BCBA’s who were involved.  Ultimately, our goal is to provide ready-to-use, practical information and resources that help in implementing a company-wide parent training curriculum for those who wish to do the same.
