With 2014 quickly approaching, we can't help but to reflect on the past year. Together we have proven that we can make a difference by supporting local families impacted by autism. Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday, a national day of giving to start off the holidays. Please consider a gift to Milestones to kick off your giving season. Thank you for your continued support, and we hope you have a safe and happy holiday season.

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Professional Group
Escape Behaviors During Tasks
Our ABA group meeting was a wonderful success, offering the opportunity for 11 individuals working towards their BCBA certification to come together and discuss current topics around working with individuals with autism.
"We all bring our own expertise to the discussions and learning together is very valuable. Our field is always evolving and I think it's crucial to continue learning for our own professional growth as well as the students and staff we work with," said ABA Professional Group Co-Chair Rachel Avner Torrance, BS, MEd, Behavior and Curriculum Intervention Specialist.
Network with other ABA professionals
and keep your BCBA certification up to date through a discussion of relevant articles and topics.
ABA Professional Group Co-Chairs
Aletta Sinoff, PhD, CCC-SLP, BCBA, Speech-Language Pathologist, Daily Behavioral Health
Rachel Avner Torrance, BS, MEd, Behavior and Curriculum Intervention Specialist, Cuyahoga County Board of Developmental Disabilities
*Open to all professionals with a certification from the Behavior Analyst Certification Board or those taking coursework toward the credential or preparing to sit for the BCBA exam.*
