Abstract:

As a student representative for the Association of Behavior Analysts International I have constructed a professional development series on Advice to Behavior Analysts Serving in Remote and Rural Communities. The PDS is comprised of a world class panel who have a diverse and wide range of experience and knowledge. The speakers that are presenting on my panel are Dr. Mark Sundberg, Dr. Cheryl Young-Pelton, and Dr. Eric Larsson. As there is an increase in children who are diagnosed with autism, it is important to be mindful that some of these children live in remote and rural communities with autism. These families do not have the accessibility to all services than those individuals who live in urban centers. Environmental constraints, geographically spread out communities, and lack of professionals are few of many factors that make it difficult for children to receive necessary and adequate amount of services. Therefore, the panel will present the ongoing issues and methods that they have used in their professional experience to ensure that all families are receiving services that they need.
