💜💛 SPABACon26 Speaker Spotlight: Dr. Heather Forbes!

Join us November 6, 2026 for the Speech Pathology Applied Behavior Analysis (SPABA) 3rd Annual Virtual Conference, Gray Matters: Navigating Nuances in SLP & ABA Collaboration.

Invited Speaker: 🎤 Heather Forbes, PhD, BCBA-D, CCC-SLP
Fact, Fad, or Fraud? Navigating Unproven Communication Practices for Children with Autism

SLPs, behavior analysts, and other practitioners regularly encounter communication interventions that are widely promoted—but not always supported by strong scientific evidence.

In this timely session, Dr. Forbes will examine communication practices through the lens of evidence-based practice, scientific validity, and professional ethics. Participants will learn how to distinguish scientific approaches from pseudoscientific ones, consider different definitions of evidence-based practice, and evaluate the ethical risks of adopting faddish or poorly supported interventions.

Dr. Forbes is an Assistant Professor of Communication Sciences and Disorders at West Chester University and a dually credentialed . Her research focuses on communication interventions for children with autism and other developmental disabilities, including AAC, evidence-based practice, and collaborative service delivery.
