ACCEPT focuses on professional development to improve critical areas of practice. We create multiple session programs so that professionals have time to practice and then revise their strategies after discussion with colleagues and experts.
For any additional information or questions please contact Dana Mullaley: dmullaley@accept.org.
This monthly symposium is offered in partnership with MassABA and is designed for BCBAs currently practicing within the framework of local public school districts. Participants will discuss the unique challenges that Behavior Analysts face in developing quality behavioral programming for students with special needs in public school settings. Expert speakers will join group meetings periodically throughout the year to address relevant topics that BCBAs face in their districts. Participants will engage in group initiatives to help standardize the role of ABA practitioners in schools and streamline the delivery of ABA services. *The Behavior Analyst Certification Board (“BACB”) does not sponsor, approve, or endorse ACCEPT Education Collaborative, the materials, information, or sessions identified herein.
