AAPB 56th ANNUAL SCIENTIFIC MEETING SPECIAL KEYNOTE PRESENTER ANNOUNCEMENT!

We are pleased to highlight the important work of Dr. Michelle Drapkin as one of our keynote presenters. Her presentation, "Why Trying Harder Doesn’t Work (and What Motivational Interviewing Does Instead)," will be featured on Friday, May 15 at 6 pm in Baltimore.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is an evidence-based, collaborative approach to supporting behavior change that is especially useful when people feel stuck, ambivalent, or discouraged. Rather than relying on persuasion, advice-giving, or pressure, MI helps clinicians work with motivation as it is, creating conditions that support engagement, persistence, and meaningful change over time.

Michelle Drapkin, PhD, ABPP, is a board-certified clinical psychologist and behavior change expert with over 20 years of experience translating psychological science into practical tools for real life. She is the Founder and Director of the CBT Center, where she provides evidence-based treatment, consultation, and training grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and process-based approaches. She is a Diplomate of the Academy of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (ACBT). Her background spans industry, academia, and federal service, including Johnson & Johnson, the University of Pennsylvania, Rutgers University, and the Department of Veterans Affairs. She is the author of The Motivational Interviewing Path to Personal Change: The Essential Workbook for Creating the Life You Want.

Register before January 30, 2026, to secure the best rates. The Preliminary Program will be available in mid-February -- your trust that we'll provide an OUTSTANDING program gets you a $100 discount!

New research is offering a clearer look at the biology behind autism.

Yale scientists have identified a molecular difference in the brains of people with autism, finding fewer of a specific type of receptor involved in neurotransmitter signaling compared with neurotypical individuals. The discovery deepens understanding of how autism affects the brain and may help guide future treatment approaches.

AAPB CE Co-sponsored Virtual Education: NeuroShift 1-Day Virtual Clinical Workshop for NeuroGuide

Happening on Saturday, February 21, 2026 from 9 am to 6 pm EST.

The focus of the virtual clinical workshop will be the clinical use of the ANI qEEG / Neurofeedback Suite. Learning Objectives are detailed below, but broadly speaking, attendees can expect to learn what every NeuroGuide Suite user needs to know! The experience is designed to teach attendees how clinicians can profit using every aspect of the ANI tool set, from qEEG data collection to the very best effective neurofeedback, all with NeuroGuide and its add-on modules. These include qEEG data acquisition, artifacting, and qEEG analysis at four levels, each more detailed than the previous one. Of course, you can expect an awesome deep dive into NeuroNavigator.

Presented by: William A. Lambos, PhD, BCN

Dr. Lambos is a licensed Psychologist and the Founder, President and Owner of ABF Behavioral Health. Dr, Lambos holds postdoctoral certifications in clinical neuropsychology and cognitive behavioral psychology. He is Board Certified neurofeedback therapy and quantitative brain analysis.

Target Audience: NeuroShift Virtual Workshops are limited to no more than 8 attendees per workshop date. A minimum of 3 and a maximum of 8 attendees is considered optimal for both NeuroShift and for the attendees.

Offering 7.5 CE credits for MAXIMUM attendance of the full live, virtual delivery of this workshop

Do not miss this opportunity to learn about Neurofeedback Protocols from Dr. Parsons as he presents: Neurofeedback “Cheat Codes”: Master Advanced Notions by a Profound Understanding of the Fundamentals...

Neurofeedback stands at the cutting edge of modern intervention methods, weaving together neuroimaging, advanced technology, and an array of therapeutic and coaching strategies. Despite being a field underpinned by scientific rigor—boasting over 3,000 peer-reviewed studies—it's often regarded by practitioners as having an 'artistic' aspect. This creativity is particularly evident in the crafting of qEEG-informed protocols and their implementation in a clinical context. It's well understood among professionals that neurofeedback is not as straightforward as merely setting a threshold to "inhibit theta" and then relaxing with a cup of coffee. Instead, neurofeedback involves a complex interaction between three key elements: the trainee (encompassing both their brain and mind), the trainer, and the feedback system. The art lies in fine-tuning this triad to unlock the most effective intervention and achieve positive outcomes. With nearly two decades of experience, he has had the privilege of both learning from leading experts around the world and directly applying this knowledge through extensive hands-on practice. Dr. Parsons' journey has encompassed analyzing over 50,000 qEEGs, conducting 10,000 neurofeedback sessions personally, and overseeing another 100,000 sessions through direct supervision.

AAPB CE Co-sponsored Virtual Education

2026 School of Neurotherapy EEG for Beginners - Two Opportunities to join us with the Winter/Spring and Summer/Fall series:

This 10-week program is for those who are just beginning to read and interpret EEG data. Each week, participants are introduced to methods and approach to identify EEG signatures, utilize brain-analysis software, and connect this data to pathologies and patient symptoms. Whether one is just starting out, needs a refresher, or needs to deepen their fundamental understanding of EEG and QEEG, this program is for them. Case studies are welcome.*EEG is a technique for recording the brain's electrical activity, while QEEG is a computational analysis of EEG data, offering quantitative insights into brain functioning. The quantitative nature of QEEG can help researchers and clinicians identify patterns and anomalies in brain activity, which can be useful for diagnosing and understanding various neurological and psychological conditions.

He has had the pleasure of accompanying some afflicted by a severe neurological disorder all the way to world-class professional athletes. His approach doesn't seek to reinvent neurofeedback; instead, it aims to distill it into its most fundamental principles, grounded in well-established scientific evidence.
