President’s Welcome

September 2021

Hello Members of NJABA:

Welcome to September! I hope you all had an enjoyable summer and are recharged and ready for a new school year. The beginning of the school year is an exciting time for students, teachers, and practitioners alike. As exciting as these new beginnings are, this year – perhaps more than most – will likely present some unforeseen challenges for many of us who work in applied settings. Many of our students and clients are returning to full-time, in-person instruction for the first time in over a year. Adjusting to the new normal may take some time and patience for everyone.  Please take whatever measures are necessary to ensure your own safety and the safety of the vulnerable populations you serve.

Make sure you keep an eye out for the Call for Papers for the 17th Annual NJABA Conference. We are inviting people to submit symposia, workshops, and poster presentations. With all of the talented behavior analysts we have in our state, we will undoubtedly have a lot of excellent content to put together an amazing conference. As a reminder, we also have additional CE opportunities for our members this fall.

As always, if there are other ways that NJABA can help to serve your needs, please do not hesitate to reach out to me at larue@rutgers.edu.

Sincerely,
