National Autism Conference 2019

Whether you are a student, Behavior Analyst, Educator, or a parent, you will find yourself building a legacy. As Behavior Analysis’ exposure increases not only in the world of autism but also in mainstream education in general, each of us has a more and more important role to play. What will your legacy be and how do you ensure an impact? Not surprisingly, the answers are unlikely to be found in graduate school and sometimes require hard lessons that only come with experience. This presentation will discuss various challenges faced by practitioners and educators using individual examples and from a large-scale perspective. Additionally, it will highlight the different issues we must address, the importance of doing so for our field, and just how dangerous the future could be if we do not act now. If you struggled with a response about your impact or do not see the clear call to action, get ready to work because you have more to give…to your field, your clients, and to yourself.
