It\u2019s taking place on April 2nd and 3rd in Austin, Texas. In the spirit of transparency, I\u2019m helping the Central Texas Autism Center promote the event, so keep that in mind for what it\u2019s worth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to promoting the event, I\u2019m also excited to be a <a href=\"https:\/\/ctac1.com\/vbc#schedule\">part of the program this year<\/a>. At the end of the first day, I get to moderate a panel with all of the conference speakers! If this all sounds fun to you, head to <a href=\"https:\/\/ctac1.com\/podcast\">ctac1.com\/podcast<\/a> and take advantage of the discount that was arranged for Behavioral Observations listeners. Also, if you\u2019re traveling to Austin, the special event rates for the conference hotel, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/Hilton+Austin\/@30.2654259,-97.7408428,17z\/data=!3m1!4b1!4m8!3m7!1s0x8644b5a8126dd78f:0x206ae9d141524569!5m2!4m1!1i2!8m2!3d30.2654213!4d-97.7386541\">Hilton Austin<\/a>, will expire on March 2nd, so if this is something you're considering, I would advise you to make your plans soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can\u2019t make it to the event, but want to learn more about Pat, and\/or The Essential for Living Assessment and Curriculum, check out their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eflapp.com\/\">website<\/a>. And check out their options for online training at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eflapp.com\/training\">eflapp.com\/training<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This podcast is sponsored by an event that\u2019s coming up in a different part of the country.
