Association Française—Les Professionnels de l’Analyse du Comportement – 2025 Annual Report

By Mélodie Geneste

AF-LPA is one of the French chapters in France.

This year, we continued our work with the Education Nationale, the local governmental entity in charge of managing the schools.

Thanks to this collaboration, we can train the shadow teachers of students living with a handicap and going to public schools through an initial training, then we supervise the shadow teacher by going inside of the schools and giving them tools to help the student. We can also propose a person to be hired as a shadow teacher, and we work closely with the governmental entity to help advance each situation.

The professionals that are part of the association can now ask to be part of this contract in order to help their own clients.

In addition, our team is currently working on developing an online repertoire of certified behavior analyst in order for clients to find good services more efficiently and for student to find supervisors more easily.

Also, in April 2024, we participated in the organization of an annual event for Autism Awareness Day in collaboration with the Mayor’s Office of Nice and a local association of adults on the spectrum (GEMA).

Warm regards,

The AF-LPA Team
