October 2021 will be a big month! First, we’re doing an awesome collaboration with the Latino Association for Behavior Analysis for a CEU event. Haven’t heard of LABA? Please go check it out now, and come back for Dr. Kolu’s talk on October 9, Toward a more individualized approach: How trauma literacy can inform behavioral assessment and treatment, bolster cultural competence, and benefit clients, communities, and clinicians.

Then during October, the ABA Today conference takes place in Melbourne, Australia. Their theme this year is Voices and Choices, and I’m honored to participate in a panel discussion on the 14th. For tickets and more information, see their site.

In August, I caught up with Kelly of the Atypical ABA podcast on practicing trauma-informed behavior analysis and being compassionate. It was a lot of fun and while they get it posted check out their other ones (available for CEUs if you need those!)

June 2021 found me doing some more work with Dusty over at Connections Behavior, collaborating with Dr. Evelyn Gould. They always have great events and you can usually learn while you earn CEUs.
