“CCN has been one of the most influential experiences I have participated in during my time in ABA. As a newer BCBA, I am still learning new things every single day. The fact that I was able to learn and collaborate with 10+ individuals who have some much passion, knowledge, and experience was the greatest learning experience imaginable. Not only was I able to learn, but my client was able to get insight and caring, compassionate care from these 10+ amazing clinicians, which shows how impactful this organization is as a whole. I was able to learn the ins and outs of different teaching procedures, behavior interventions for, and how to go about parent meetings for harder conversations. Everyone has had different experiences, and this is such an AMAZING way to collaborate and share those experiences to change the lives of others!” -Participating BCBA
