The State of ABA

Today's episode features Alyssa and Courtney zooming in on Courtney's recent presentations and experiences at ABA conferences in Colorado & Arizona. The gals wanted to explore the current state of ABA in a post-AMA update world!

Alyssa and Courtney dive into:

• What's changing in ABA "land"
• Misconceptions about ABA
• Protocols and why they exist/why maybe they shouldn't
• Making things better
• The importance of collaboration!

Courtney references several presentations she attended at these conferences and you can check out the agendas for them, here:
