| Abstract: "At this very moment enormous numbers of intelligent men and women of goodwill are trying to build a better world. But problems are born faster than they can be solved" (B.F. Skinner). In order to achieve the change our world needs to survive, we must continue to work together for a common goal —which becomes increasingly difficult the more isolated you are. On this panel, three behavior analysts who live on three separate islands (literally) will present about their experiences advocating for access to ABA services in the most isolated population center on Earth. Each member of the panel will discuss some common (and not so common) barriers they have faced, as well as some creative solutions identified. Whether you feel like you operate on an island, or you actually do, this discussion on the ethics of effective advocacy is for you. |
