Progress ABA: Behavioral Consulting and Therapy Services, LLC

Big week for Progress ABA. Welcome our new BCBA Breon to the team and Congratulations to Maggie on passing her RBT Exam!!!

The GABA Licensure Committee has been working to pass a licensure bill that will help us as BCBAs, take control of these licensure efforts. Please view HB 1241 ...on the Georgia General Assembly website here: http://www.legis.ga.gov/legislat//Display/20192020/HB/1241. We have secured a lobbyist to assist us with obtaining licensure. In the short time we have worked with our lobbyist, Wendi Clifton, she has gotten this bill in front of legislators for discussion. The champions for this bill so far have been Rep. Katie Dempsey, Rep. Ron Stephens, Rep. Pam Dickerson, Rep. Sharon Cooper, and Rep. Shelly Hutchinson. We hope in the next 1-2 years, we will have this bill passed into law. We are reaching out for a few reasons. First, we want you to be aware of these efforts. Second, we want to make you aware of a few information sessions we are holding to hear from Dr. Gina Green (of APBA), our lobbyist, Wendi Clifton, and members of the GABA board about licensure efforts and to answer any questions you have on the topic. Please plan to join us at one of the upcoming virtual information sessions: 11/2 5pm EST https://zoom.us/j/91713501070 11/11 11am EST https://zoom.us/j/92801706281 11/21 4:45 p.m. EST (at the Business Meeting at GABA 2020) https://zoom.us/j/92971156860 12/2 1pm EST https://zoom.us/j/92630293788 PLEASE SHARE WIDELY!
