There was a lot of great movement this Summer. Dozens of ILABA members signed up to become Licensure Advocates and participated in advocacy trainings, hosted by the Legislative Committee. Committee members and ILABA advocates spent the summer meeting with their district legislators to educate them about ABA, BCBA certification, what practitioners do, where services are delivered, what services look like and ultimately why licensure is appropriate for our profession. ILABA members and non-members discussed how behavior analysis is a distinct profession and different from other related professions, and the importance of ensuring the protection of consumers of our services through state licensing. Many members even hosted legislators at their agencies, so legislators could first see the impact our services have on the community.
