    First Annual ABA Conference

    Friday, May 03, 2024
    8:00 am
    McGann Conference Center - SJNY Long Island Campus, Patchogue, NY

    Join us for a momentous occasion as we commemorate a decade of licensed behavior analysis in New York State at our inaugural ABA conference, proudly hosted by the Department of Child Study and ABA Graduate Programs at SJNY! We are delighted to extend a warm invitation to behavior analysts, educators, special educators, parents, advocates, and members of our community for an enriching day of learning and networking.

    At this landmark event, our primary aim is to spotlight the transformative impact of ABA across various domains, with a particular emphasis on education and schools. Through engaging presentations, interactive workshops, and insightful discussions, we will delve into the crucial role of ABA in educational settings, fostering inclusive environments where every learner can thrive.

    Our conference serves as a platform for fostering collaboration and innovation. We believe that by bringing together diverse stakeholders—educators, behavior analysts, parents, and advocates—we can catalyze positive change and drive forward-thinking solutions in education and beyond. By sharing best practices, exchanging ideas, and forging partnerships, we can collectively advance the field of ABA and amplify its influence on Long Island and throughout the broader community.

    Join us as we celebrate a decade of progress, honor achievements, and chart a course for the future of ABA in education. Together, let's harness the power of collaboration to create brighter opportunities for learners of all abilities.

    Welcome to the first annual ABA conference at SJNY—a gathering where inspiration meets action, and where collaboration leads to meaningful impact. We can't wait to see you there!

    STONES IN HIS POCKETS is a comedy with a poignant undercurrent about a small rural town in Ireland overrun by a Hollywood film crew. The story centers on two actors employed as extras on the film, who assume the responsibility for giving an account of all events, as the little town is turned upside down with both hilarious and touching results.
