We had an incredible time connecting with fellow clinicians, sharing resources, and celebrating advancements in ABA at the Tennessee Association for Behavior Analysis (TABA) Conference in Nashville, TN! Our team was thrilled to support the community, exchange insights, and meet so many inspiring professionals who remind us of the positive impact ABA therapy can make. ✨
Here were some of our key highlights:
💙 Leadership and Vision – Congratulations to Stephanie Marshall, M.A., BCBA, our Hendersonville Clinical Director, on her election as TABA President! In her inspiring presidential address, she shared: “I believe we can create a community that supports each other and elevates our field as a whole. We have an incredible opportunity to shape the future of TABA, and I’m excited to take this journey with all of you.”
💚 Championing Clinician Well-being – Kelti Owens, M.S., BCBA, presented on the critical topic, "Examining Behavior Analysis Clinicians' Traumatic Experiences in Practice," bringing much-needed awareness to the challenges clinicians face and the importance of fostering a compassionate, supportive environment within ABA.
⭐ Driving Collaboration and Access to Care – Stephanie Marshall, Julia Reed, M.S., BCBA, and fellow leaders joined forces to present "Bridging Gaps in ABA: Collaboration, Public Policy, and Perception in Tennessee." In this session, Julia shared a powerful reminder rooted in our core values: “When we see a need, we step in, speak up, and take action… Let’s work together to shape public perceptions and policies to sustain the quality and ethical integrity of our work.” Together, the presenters explored ways to enhance accessibility, cultural responsiveness, and collaboration within ABA, building a stronger, more inclusive future.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by, and a big shoutout to all who worked hard to make this event meaningful. Can’t wait to see you all next year!✨
