51st Annual ABAI Convention

Redefining Possibility in Behavior Analysis

Brighter Strides was a premium exhibitor at the Association for Behavior Analysis International’s (ABAI) 51st Annual Convention in Washington, D.C., where behavior analysts, educators, researchers, and industry leaders came together at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center and the Marriott Marquis to explore the latest advancements in behavior analysis.

We were inspired by the achievements of SABA Award recipients, the pioneering presenting authors, and the many great conversations we enjoyed over the three-day event. The experience provided a meaningful opportunity to connect with peers, deepen our knowledge, and reflect on the shared purpose that drives our work.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth—and to ABAI for their outstanding commitment to advancing the field of behavior analysis and fostering meaningful connections within the community.
