AUSTIN, TX / ACCESSWIRE / May 9, 2024 / Action Behavior Centers, a leading provider of applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy services for children with autism, recently hosted the inaugural ABCaba clinical conference on May 3rd and 4th. ABCaba, an initiative in collaboration with the Global Autism Project, promises an opportunity to learn from the best clinical minds in the field while advocating with the Global Autism Project for enhanced ABA services globally. In collaboration with Austin's JW Marriott, this event gathered a record number of ABA clinicians for a transformative experience.
During this groundbreaking event, ABCaba attendees had the opportunity to participate in a special community impact event organized in partnership with the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Make-A-Wish is an organization dedicated to granting the wishes of children with critical illnesses, providing them with hope and joy during challenging times. With the generous support of Austin's JW Marriott, ABC rolled out the red carpet for Sadie, a young girl whose wish was recently granted by the Make-A-Wish foundation to travel to Hawaii. In true Make-A-Wish tradition, our ABCaba attendees embraced Sadie with warmth and excitement by hosting a Jurassic Park-themed welcome home party with over 1,400 people in attendance. This heartfelt gesture aimed to extend the joy of her wish fulfillment and offer her a memorable experience.
Austin's JW Marriott, renowned for its exceptional service and dedication to social impact, has played a pivotal role in facilitating this community impact component of the event. Through their generous support, the JW Marriott not only showcases its commitment to hospitality but also underscores its profound dedication to positively influencing the lives of those in need, embodying the true essence of corporate responsibility and compassion.

Each element of the conference was intentionally planned to bring together the ABA community, no matter where a clinician practices, and especially to honor the role and impact of mentorship. Austin's JW Marriot played a pivotal role in bringing our vision to life. For us, we grounded ourselves in planning the conference with the goal of those attending to leave the conference with a renewed sense of knowledge, appreciation and passion for what they do and who they get to do it with."
