AST is headed to the 6^th Annual ABAI (Association for Behavior Analysis International) Autism Conference!  This event is a must-attend for AST.  We are headed to Philadelphia this year to hear many of the field’s most accomplished researchers present their work.  This conference is a great opportunity to share knowledge and information with our colleagues from around the world.  I am extremely excited to have a large group of AST leadership that will be attending as well as presenting numerous papers ranging in topics from early intervention treatment methods to delivering services to adults. 

This year, I want to take you with us and give you inside information as it unfolds.  Look for updates and photos on our facebook and twitter pages live from the conference. 

Early intervention is always a popular topic and I am pleased to be presenting the Racing Ahead program for infants, toddlers and young children.

I look forward to spending time with Julianne Benoit, Daryn Kalmus, Caroline Thompson and Shawna Delaney who will be presenting on a variety of our programs from Steps to Independence, Real Life, Social Skills and Camp.  As one of the few agencies with feeding specialists, we are very proud to have Aimee Meier present on interventions for feeding problems.  We will also have Meagan Turner and Kristine Rodriquez present on data collection methods and self-management treatment packages. These are outstanding professionals presenting papers that represent some of the best work we do at Autism Spectrum Therapies.

More than just a conference, this is a celebration of our terrific leadership and their expertise and hard work. I am so proud of all of our presenters, and of AST’s outstanding clinical leadership. We will be sure to share how the conference goes!
