Lobby Day provide a unique and fun opportunity to meet your state legislators, educate them about your profession and support or oppose legislation impacting your profession. ILABA and other organizations such as AutismSpeaks, Easter Seals and others are supporting legislation creating a state practice and licensing act for Behavior Analysts.  Members of your profession are the best advocates to help educate legislators about the what you do and why state licensure for your profession is appropriate.
