Bloom Behavior Therapy

This past week, I had the privilege of attending the Autism Law Summit—an annual gathering of attorneys, advocates, and industry leaders dedicated to improving access to care for individuals with autism nationwide.

Each year, the Summit recognizes a few individuals who have made contributions to the field in a non-clinical capacity. I was incredibly honored (and surprised!) to be recognized this year as the Provider Advocate of the Year.

While a single name may be on the award, the truth is that none of this work would be possible without every single member of our team at Bloom. Because of their dedication and excellence in service delivery for our clients, I’m able to devote time to advocacy efforts through KY's ABA Advocates trade association, the Council of Autism Service Providers, and our Bluegrass Alliance for Behavior Health non-profit—fighting for better access to care for children and families across our state and nation.

This recognition belongs to every member of our team at Bloom, and to the families and colleagues who inspire this work every day.

Thank you all for what you do in your role to support advocacy—together, we’re making a difference that reaches far beyond our clinics, and it truly is how we move mountains.

Calling all BCBAs!
Dr. Becky Nastally is collecting data on the complexities and challenges you experience in your job working in autism. This is a continuation of the work we have done so far with our Caseload Complexity model.

If you are a BCBA who has provided ABA services to one or more people with autism in the last year as part of your job description, please complete the anonymous survey below. It seeks to highlight the hardest parts of your work so that we can have better conversations about supporting the work-life balance of practicing behavior analysts.
