Hi everyone

Due to holidays we are leaving our survey up for a few more days please take a few moments if you haven't already to complete it and help us plan:

The ABA Support Network is planning a one day workshop to take place this fall in the lower mainland. This workshop will be open to all parents and professionals and the goal will be to educate attendees on the current state of ABA in BC schools and how to move forward with implementing ABA programs, district by district.

This is NOT a registration page – we need to know how many people would attend this workshop so that we can confirm a location.

Please fill out the following questionnaire which will assist us in planning this event.

This person should expect to be involved in the family’s home ABA team and attend their monthly team meetings.
