The Council of Autism Service Providers (CASP) is a nonprofit membership association that was formed to provide specialized support for senior, executive-level staff at agencies that provide evidence-based services to individuals with autism spectrum disorders. CASP recognized that the needs of senior-level management were very specific and were not being met through traditional professional conferences and local/state-level meetings and groups. One way CASP meets these specialized needs is through a peer-directed gathering for members each year. CASP is excited to offer a unique line-up of presentation topics and speakers for this year’s conference. We look forward to having you join us! Conference Registration Opens September 23rd for CASP Members

Modern social movements are acknowledging inequity and encouraging discourse and action to bring about change for disenfranchised communities. Cultural humility provides a framework for both institutional and individual reflection to guide changes that can build acceptance, bridge cultures, address disparity and improve outcomes. Biases that lead to inequity exist within the discipline and application of autism services. Practitioners can harness society's drive to address such inequities by critically analyzing our field and establishing new repertoires of professional behaviors. Systemic change in the field can promote social justice and improve access to effective services. Promoting professional learning and application of cultural humility, directly addressing diversity can increase the effective, equitable access to effective services and supports. Objectives:

Based on Lindsey Pollak’s new book, The Remix: How to Lead and Succeed in the Multigenerational Workplace, and her two decades of research on millennials and generational differences, this presentation offers the latest data and insights into how to lead your associates and your firm in today’s unprecedented multigenerational mix.
For the first time in history, five generations now share the workplace — the Traditional Traditionalists, Still-Booming Boomers, Xtra-Independent Gen Xers, Tech-or-Die Gen Y/Millennials, and New-on-thescene Gen Zs. Many law firms are trying to balance a generation gap of multiple decades between the oldest and youngest attorney, staff, clients, and other stakeholders. To lead in this environment, you must empathize with all generations’ perspectives and learn to mix the best of each era’s practices – the “classic” and the “new” – to achieve your shared goals.

Being authentically you in the workplace is often overlooked as a crucial component of being a great leader. Bringing your authentic self to work has a multiplier effect on the organization, positively impacting you, your teams, and your company’s culture. In a field like behavior analysis, leaders at organizations are under even more pressure to not only bring their authentic selves to work, but to also implement management practices that are authentically aligned to the science – to consistently and effectively implement behavioral principles not to those they serve, but also within their own organization. When leaders don’t effectively implement behaviorally sound principles within their own organizations, employees may begin to question the integrity of their leadership team, negatively impacting employee engagement. This keynote will explore what it means to be authentic in the workplace, the impact authentic leaders can have on an organization, and tangible actions you can take to create a culture of authenticity at work.

The field of Behavior Analysis has gone through monumental changes over the past decade, substantially resulting from the continued rise in diagnostic rates and by the expansion of services funding options for families of individuals on the Autism Spectrum, which as of this year, now includes mandated commercial health insurance coverage in all 50 states. These dynamics have substantially increased demand for services, driving expansion in BCBA programs educating new behavior analysts, an explosion in the number of new certificants, and a substantial increase in the numbers and size of for profit and not for profit organizations attempting to serve this rapidly growing demand. These market factors have also substantially increased the interest of traditional healthcare services investors in the field, which has resulted in substantial private equity capital flowing into the companies serving the ASD community.
This keynote address will explore the supply and demand dynamics driving this interest in the field, the implications of investment capital flowing into the field, and the pitfalls and the opportunities these dynamics represent for families, clinicians, and organizations.
