Course Description

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the field of behavior analysis presents exciting opportunities and formidable challenges. This presentation explores the current and potential applications of AI within Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, focusing on how AI can enhance clinical decision-making, improve treatment efficiency, and reduce administrative burdens. By analyzing real-time data from therapy sessions, AI systems may provide insights into patient behaviors, track progress, and assist clinicians in delivering more effective, individualized interventions. However, as these technologies evolve, ethical considerations around data privacy, accuracy, and the role of AI in decision-making emerge. This presentation delves into the implications of AI use, discussing the balance between leveraging AI for improved patient outcomes and maintaining ethical standards in practice. Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of AI's impact on ABA therapy, the potential benefits and risks, and strategies for integrating AI responsibly into clinical and administrative workflows.

What You'll Learn

  1. Identify the key applications of Artificial Intelligence within the practice of Applied Behavior Analysis and understand how AI can enhance clinical decision-making, data analysis, and treatment efficiency.
  2. Recognize Ethical Implications: Participants will gain insight into the ethical considerations associated with implementing AI in behavior analysis, including issues related to data privacy, accuracy, and the clinician's role in decision-making.
  3. Describe strategies for integrating AI technologies into ABA therapy practices in a way that maximizes benefits for patient outcomes while adhering to ethical standards and maintaining the quality of care.

I’m a founder, strategist, and storyteller at the intersection of healthcare, behavioral science, and technology. My work focuses on identifying emerging trends, building high-impact products and platforms, and helping mission-driven companies scale—particularly in autism services and behavioral health.I’ve spent my career working across startups, private equity, and enterprise organizations, helping companies navigate growth, innovation, and transformation. I’m especially drawn to the complex challenges in care delivery—how we diagnose, treat, and support individuals and families—and how technology, policy, and business models can work together to create meaningful change.I founded the Autism Investor Summit, a premier event that brings together providers, payers, investors, and entrepreneurs shaping the future of autism services. It was acquired by WTWH Media and continues to grow as a leading forum for dialogue, connection, and deal-making. I also advise companies like Frontera, which is building AI-powered diagnostic tools, and Theradriver, which is creating a cognitive AI layer for care delivery.I’m also a mom of two, and that perspective fuels everything I do. I care deeply about the future we’re building—for families, providers, and the people at the heart of behavioral healthcare.
