The buzz is building as the California Association for Behavior Analysis (CalABA) gears up for its annual conference, CalABA 2024, taking place from February 8 to 10 at the Pasadena Convention Center. In the midst of this dynamic gathering, ABA Matrix is excited to announce its presence at the event!
CalABA Annual Conference is the largest state gathering in the U.S. and the second largest worldwide, after ABAI, and it is a significant event for professionals in ABA Therapy and related fields, including behavior analysts, psychologists, educators, therapists, and social workers. The conference, therefore, provides an enriching professional experience and an opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals.
This year’s event theme is “EMPOWER,” and it promises to be a power-packed three-day conference. The first day will consist of workshops, followed by two full days of conference sessions. Attendees will have the opportunity to interact with renowned researchers and clinicians from across the United States, as well as participate in important conferences.
Here are the key events we look forward to attending at the California Association For Behavior Analysis conference:
- Workshop: An Introduction to Developing and Utilizing Data Collection Systems to Demonstrate Clinical Outcomes to Stakeholders
When: February 8, 2024 | 5:45 PM – 8:45 PM EST
As ABA Therapists, we need to make data-driven decisions and improve the outcomes of our clients. This workshop introduces you to a data collection system that captures outcomes and enables comparisons between learners and across different organizations. Also, it discusses the advantages and difficulties of different outcome measures and helps you identify the metrics that are most suitable for your learners and organizational systems through a collaborative conversation with other participants.
- The Past, Present, and Future of ABA
When: Feb 9, 2024 | 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM EST
ABA therapists need to stay informed about industry trends to provide the best possible care to clients. Adapting evidence-based interventions, incorporating the latest research findings, and addressing emerging challenges are all crucial for maintaining a high-quality practice. This conference will review some of the field’s present strengths, followed by some challenges to its long-term effectiveness that it is increasingly facing. It will provide evidence in the practice of ABA: The evidence on which current practice rests, the questions that must be asked about the evidence supporting many claims that are being made today, and some research questions that must be addressed if the practice is to advance and remain science-based.
- Supporting Behavior Analytic Practice with Decision Tools
When: Feb 9, 2024 | 1:15 PM – 2:15 PM EST
Decision tools are essential for ABA therapists to maximize effectiveness and ethical implementation. They enhance precision, promote evidence-based interventions, and ensure that strategies are tailored to individual client needs. This symposium will present two decision tools. The first intends to assist practitioners in selecting and creating functional analysis. The second includes methods for considering logistical, ethical, and socially valid factors when selecting a single-case design in practice.
- Will Robots Replace Technicians or Trainers?
When: Feb 10, 2024 | 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM EST
It is imperative for ABA professionals to keep up with innovative and cutting-edge technologies that can improve the quality and effectiveness of interventions for their clients, as advances in technology have begun to affect many professions by providing people and businesses with tools that decrease human workload. This symposium aims to summarize empirical studies that utilized humanoid robots to teach clinicians and clients clinically relevant skills.
