Nebraska ABA

By Shelby Wagner
The Nebraska Association for Behavior Analysis has continued concentrating efforts to obtain licensure for Behavior Analysts in the state of Nebraska. Earlier this month, the Health and Human Services Committee voted 7-0 to advance our bill to the full legislature for debate and voting. It is likely this will be scheduled in the next few weeks.

Our annual conference was held in Omaha in March 2022. The workshops were led by Dr. Tyra Sellers, Dr. Matt O’Brien, and Dr. Kelly Schieltz. Topics presented include improving juvenile justice systems, treatment integrity, assessment and treatment via telehealth, and cultural adaptations in the field. Throughout the year, we also offered our members other CEU opportunities in the form of a virtual speaker series.

Following our annual conference, Shelby Wagner served as President, Sara Kupzyk was elected as Vice President, Victoria Bock served as Past President, Steve Taylor served as Treasurer, Jessica Beck served as Secretary, and Gabrielle Roberts was elected as Student Representative.
