Congratulations to our 2023-2024 SAABA officers!! We look forward to the upcoming school year! 🎉

A new paper co-authored by incoming faculty Dr. Ciobha McKeown has just been published in the new issue of Perspectives on Behavior Science.

Thank you to Dr. LaFrance for an incredible talk at SAABA’s 2023 Guest Speaker & Job Expo event! Also, thank you to our corporate sponsors and research labs for providing Sac State students with information and opportunities about careers and research in ABA. It was a great end to the semester!

Dr. LaFrance, the current VP of Clinical at Sunrise ABA, will be presenting on Multidisciplinary Teaming: Enhancing Collaboration through Increased Understanding.
Abstract: In an effort to provide clarity about the unique contributions of several professions within the context of multidisciplinary treatment, the definitions, philosophical underpinnings, and national requirements pertaining to scopes of practice and training of 4 behavioral health professions (behavior analysis, psychology, speech language pathology, and occupational therapy) will be briefly reviewed. These professions are likely to provide treatment alongside one another and often to the same clients. In a review of documents pertaining to scopes of practice and training for each profession, there is some overlapping content. However, the similarities between professions diminishes when specific guidelines such as learning objectives, educational requirements (i.e., coursework), supervised clinical experience (e.g., internships), and national examinations are considered. This is especially true when considering each profession’s underlying approach to treatment (i.e., philosophical underpinnings) and, hence, service activities. Findings, in light of service overlap, will be discussed, in light of the need for collaboration between professions, as related to the separate content knowledge and expertise of professionals in each field and the impact on client outcomes.
If this is your first event of the academic year (2022-2023), this event will be free for you. Breakfast will be free and available during the event for everyone.
