What if your organization's advisory board could also be its most powerful mentorship engine?

Most ABA service organizations think of Clinical Advisory Boards as governance structures. This panel makes the case that they can be so much more. A catalyst for practice-based research, leadership development, and the kind of bidirectional mentorship that actually moves the field forward.

Jana Sarno, BCBA, LBA | Breanne Hartley, PhD, BCBA-D, LBA | Jonathan Fernand, PhD, BCBA-D | Elizabeth Lorah, PhD, BCBA-D bring both sides of the CAB table to :

🏛️ Clinical Advisory Boards as Catalysts for Practice-Based Research and Mentorship in ABA Service Delivery Organizations

This session goes beyond structure and governance to examine how CABs, when designed intentionally, can:

🔹 Pair organizational leaders with subject-matter experts in reciprocal, collaborative learning relationships
🔹 Remove the barriers BCBAs face in accessing mentorship, research resources, and infrastructure
🔹 Create organic and planned pathways for practice-based research rooted in real-world clinical contexts
🔹 Foster interdisciplinary collaboration and values-driven leadership from the inside out

What makes this panel unique: you'll hear candid perspectives from both a CAB chair and CAB board members, illustrating how mentorship flows in both directions, and what that looks like in practice.

You'll leave with:
✅ Three bidirectional benefits of mentorship within a CAB
✅ A clear definition and framework for practice-based research
✅ Three concrete steps to establish and lead your own Clinical Advisory Board

Most families can expect to be in or around the water this summer, which makes safety planning even more important this time of year. June is National Safety Month, so we're sharing 8 practical water safety tips and takeaways for families.

Below are the tips, but comment "WATER" and we'll also DM you the full water safety guide.

💧 Expose kids to water at a young age.
💧 Invest in swim lessons—YMCA and many community centers offer classes for kids with special needs, and some organizations offer scholarships.
💧 Ensure adult supervision in AND around water—monitoring anywhere near water is the key prevention to drowning.
💧 Be patient with your kid—Understand sensory needs and take time to get them comfortable.
💧 Take breaks.
💧 Secure bodies of water when not in use—Use layers of protection with locked doors, door alarms and pool gates, especially for those who wander.
💧 Ask questions—Call the public pool to learn about less crowded times or special programs.
Have fun and play together!

Is mealtime a battleground at your house? 🍽️

It’s easy to dismiss “picky eating” as just a phase, but sometimes, there’s more going on beneath the surface. For some children, the struggle with food isn't just about being stubborn, it's a sensory or physiological challenge.

Here are a few signs that might indicate a child could benefit from professional feeding therapy:

❌ Eating a very limited variety of foods.
❌ Gagging, vomiting, or showing extreme distress with certain textures.
❌ Developing intense anxiety or meltdowns at the table.
❌ Refusing entire food groups altogether.
❌ Struggling with the physical mechanics of chewing or swallowing... more at https://hopel.ink/49mJiV6

Often, these behaviors stem from deeper triggers, like an aversion to specific smells, temperatures, or appearances. Fear of choking or a history of negative experiences can also play a major role in how a child approaches their plate.

Recognizing these signs is the first step toward making mealtimes happier and healthier for everyone.

We know it sounds messy… but in feeding therapy, play can be a powerful first step. 🍓

Hopebridge Westlake Speech-Language Pathologist Hayley explains that for some children, trying new foods isn’t just “picky eating.” Difficulties with textures, smells, tastes, anxiety around meals, oral motor skills, or sensory processing can all play a role in feeding challenges.

That’s why feeding therapy often starts away from the pressure of “just take a bite.” Through play, exploration, and a multi-sensory approach, our SLPs help children build comfort, confidence, and positive experiences around food.

Because when mealtimes feel safe and fun, kids are more likely to participate, explore, and eventually try something new.

Happy Speech-Language Hearing Month! It's been great to have our SLPs share their roles with us this month, and we can't wait to share even more with you throughout the year.
