SOUTH EAST APPLIED BEHAVIOUR ANALYSIS (SEABA) 2ND ANNUAL CONFERENCE

16th & 17th June 2017

WOW! What a conference!!

Not only was the calibre of presenter and presentation top notch, the mood music was that of collaboration, understanding and engagement.

It was refreshing to attend a conference where much of the discussion was around effective partnership working, as opposed to grumbling about how other professions are not playing nicely together!

During these times of austerity with regards to health and social care budgets, different disciplines must find ways of working together to ensure that people receive the services they need and deserve (“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that” Martin Luther King, jr.)

The range of topics covered at the conference was vast (and way too extensive for us to cover in a paragraph or two). For more information, please visit the SEABA website: https://www.seaba.net/
