Secure the Bag: How to Earn Multiple Streams of Income and Make A Global Impact in Applied Behavior Analysis #live

**This course will provide the participant with 2 Ethics Type BACB CEUs**

Description of Learning Type CE Event: Among BCBAs, an estimated 73% of us work with individuals diagnosed with ASD (Raise your hand if you are in that number). Why wouldn’t we focus our science in that direction? It is truly important work we do by implementing techniques based on the principles of behavior to support the developmental trajectory of young children with ASD (Howlin et al., 2009; Lovaas, 1987; Be that as it may, the principles of behavior (e.g., antecedent-based interventions, differential reinforcement, functional behavior assessment) can be applied to a million other things. This training is designed for those BCBAs who seek to diversify their scope of competence, and their income by learning how to earn multiple streams of income (raise your hand if that is you). This training will identify an extensive list of socially significant behavior domains, including empirical review, that could help ABA achieve global impact. I’ve got 99 problems but finding a job ain't one. Simply finding a job is not our purpose. Our purpose is the impact we bring to the world while doing that job. So, get ready to break out of the box, and free yourself from previous attachments you’ve had regarding how you are supposed to show up in this field as we find various ways to secure the bag.
