Hoosier ABA

By Ann Dorlet

Overall, 2022 was a successful year for HABA. Throughout the year, we continued to focus on building funds, providing our members with continuing education opportunities, and licensure efforts.

Our monthly Hoosier Happy Hours continuing education events continue to be a success. These events allow our members access to various topics in the areas of behavior analysis. Topics this year included supervision, parent training, working with the adult population,
self-care, ethical considerations in the field of ABA,
and staff training.

In October 2022, we hosted an in-person conference after being virtual for two years. Speakers included Rachel Taylor, Paul Gavoni, Ellie Kazemi, Kelly Tait, AJ Rodrigue, Shawnna Sundberg, and Susan Wilczynski.

The conference was a two-day event with almost 130 people in attendance. Our poster session was a success with 16 posters being presented and one winner receiving a $500 scholarship for the best overall poster presentation.

Our 5th Annual Bridget Harrison Award was presented to Michelle Trivedi for her continued commitment to HABA’s mission and the autism population. In regard to licensure, the rules were written and finalized in 2022. Our goal is for the rules to be presented and approved by the board sometime in early 2023.
