BRCC’s Program for Successful Employment Presents Dr. James Ball
"Creating Pathways to Success through Community Collaboration"

James Ball, Ed.D., a Board Certified Behavior Analyst – Doctoral (BCBA-D) has been providing preschool, educational, residential and employment services to children and adults affected by autism spectrum disorders for more than 25 years. He is the President/Chief Executive Officer of JB Autism Consulting, and also the Director of Clinical Services for New York Families of Autistic Children. He provides consultation to organizations, schools and families regarding home programs, staff and parent training, home support services, classroom design and supports, behavior management and assessment, and functional behavior assessment.

As the rate of diagnosis for autism spectrum disorders increases with each passing year, steps must be taken by the community to ensure that the necessary supports are available to families from childhood through adulthood.Dr. Ball will cover a variety of topics as well as discussing ways that schools, service-providers, and other entities can collaborate to provide the necessary supports to children and adults with autism.

We hope you can make it!
