Growth in the field created a chain of events that has led to changes in the application of ABA with children and adults. Throughout this period, the practitioner navigated through social, political and ethical challenges that created many obstacles for the future of the profession. This keynote address will focus on the reflection of how ABA has been perceived across this time and the implications of social and ethical barriers to the practice of our science. The focus will also show the impact of our state and local chapters of FABA along with the grassroot efforts of connecting parents with state legislatures. This presentation will guide the practitioner through the path of personal experiences during this timeframe and focus on what the ABA profession can do to prepare for the next 20 years. 12:00 - 12:30 FABA's Annual Business Meeting
