| Description: Balance, as a practitioner, and in managing personal and professional life, is essential to expanding the field of applied behavior analysis. If behavior analysts engage in actions that seclude the field from differing perspectives, they may inadvertently cause damage to the lives of those served by the field as well as the growth of the field itself. Behavior analysts must actively choose to conduct themselves in a manner that encourages humility, respect, and inquiry as it relates to supervision and collaboration. In conjunction with this position, behavior analysts must learn to, and actively practice, set and model professional boundaries, to avoid burnout risk, poor supervision, and diminished quality of service. |
| Learning Objectives: 1) State two actions that can be taken within 24 hours that will move participants towards balance as a behavior analyst; 2) Describe three characteristics of a Balanced BCBA; 3) Describe and demonstrate how to provide feedback in a constructive manner to those outside of the ABA field; 4) Identify one way in which to evaluate their effectiveness as a supervisor; 5) Identify one method in which to seek mentorship from a positive role model in the field of ABA; and 6) State two benefits of collaborating with professionals in other fields. |
| Activities: The format will combine lecture and discussion, a values exercise, small group breakout, and large group discussion |
