🌍 Happy World ABA Day from BK Behavior!
Yesterday, we brought together over 100 attendees across both virtual and in-person, and the energy was truly something special.
A huge thank you to Dr. Anika Hoybjerg for an inspiring session that truly embodied The Kindness Method. Her message says it best: “Kindness is the method, not the reward. When kindness is a priority, everyone benefits.”
From meaningful discussions on trauma-informed care to reflections on what moves us as professionals, this event was filled with connection, growth, and purpose.

BK Book Club with a Purpose
Our clinical team knows that great outcomes start with great training. Over the next few weeks we’re reading Make it Meaningful and exploring how to build programs that truly matter for our learners’ futures. Grateful to work alongside BCBAs who are committed to excellence and lifelong learning. #BCBA #ClinicalExcellence #AutismIntervention
Brian Brutzman, PhD, BCBA
I really enjoyed speaking with BCBAs across BK Behavior about mindfulness in ABA last week. Here is a snapshot of what BCBAs said make them most anxious. The majority of BCBAs also identified “letting go” as the mindfulness practice they are most interested in.
