The ABA Today Forum organised by the Autism Behavioural Intervention Association was a huge success, shining the light on contemporary ABA

practice and research in Australia.

 

The Keynotes speakers, Dr Cynthia Zierhut and Dr John McEachin, really highlighted the evolution of ABA since its introduction in the early 70s and how it has become a contemporary and flexible treatment model.

Tom Gleisner lightened the afternoon panel session by adding a touch of humour. Teacher and panel member, Agata Puglia, told how her primary school has embraced ABA and how this approach worked for the whole classroom, not just the child with ASD.  Panel member Anthony Macris shared examples of his personal journey with autism and ABA; and Shannon Eeles (CISCA) came with a suitcase of passion and spoke of the importance of ABA being accessible in every school for every child with autism.

L4life participated, presenting our first outcomes for our graduates and also a talk on elopement and strategies to assist in prevention. Our supervisors Carlie McGough and Claire Birrell did a great job presenting, a good experience for them too. We also had a poster displayed on the certification training program running at L4life. Mandy Sampson (L4l patron/founder) opened and closed the Forum as ABIA president.

Presentation notes will be available shortly on the ABIA website.
