🌟 We are so thrilled to welcome The Institute for Clinical Excellence at Precision ABA as a Major Sponsor of the 9th Annual Women in Behavior Analysis Conference this July! 🎉

The Institute for Clinical Excellence was created for clinicians who want to think more deeply, practice more skillfully, and help move the field forward. Born out of more than a decade of direct clinical practice at Precision ABA, The Institute develops clinicians through mentorship, practice-based learning, and reflective clinical training, because they believe that truly excellent clinical practice requires far more than coursework or certification alone.

At The Institute, learning moves from conceptual understanding to guided application in real clinical work: from focused instruction and structured workshops to direct clinical practice with real-time coaching and feedback. Their goal is simple: to help clinicians become the kind of practitioners they set out to be when they entered the field.

That mission speaks directly to the heart of what WIBA is all about. So many of us entered this field because we care deeply about doing the work well, and The Institute exists to honor and support that commitment at every stage of a clinician's career. We are so proud to have them with us this July! 🙌

Thank you, The Institute for Clinical Excellence, for investing in the women who are raising the bar for clinical practice every single day! ✨

🏃‍♀️ We are so honored to announce Nemours Children's Health as the Exercise Sponsor for the 9th Annual Women in Behavior Analysis Conference this July! 🎉💙

Nemours Children's Health is a pediatric health system committed to children's health care across Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Florida. Their impact on children and families is nothing short of extraordinary. With hospitals ranked by U.S. News & World Report as among the best in the nation across multiple specialties, Nemours has built a reputation for clinical excellence that is truly unmatched in pediatric care.

What makes Nemours so remarkable is the breadth and depth of their mission. From specialty and urgent care to behavioral health, research, and community wellness, Nemours believes that good health goes beyond great medicine that involves education, access to food and housing, strong families, mental wellness, and health justice for all. That whole-child, whole-family philosophy resonates deeply with the WIBA community.

With 300+ pediatric medical researchers, 11 research centers, 240+ clinical trials across the U.S., and 400+ peer-reviewed publications last year, Nemours is not just treating children today - they are shaping the future of pediatric health for generations to come.

What a perfect fit for our Exercise Sponsor — an organization dedicated to the health and well-being of children, helping our attendees recharge and refresh so they can keep doing the incredible work they do! Thank you, Nemours Children's Health, for investing in the women of behavior analysis and for your generous support of WIBA 2026! ✨

🌟 We are so excited to welcome PlaidCloud as a Major Sponsor of the 9th Annual Women in Behavior Analysis Conference this July! 🎉

PlaidCloud is transforming the way ABA organizations understand their financial performance. PlaidCloud connects directly to your ERP and reveals which customers, products, and channels actually generate profit — automating cost allocation and delivering real-time dashboards in weeks, not months. For ABA practice owners and operators who are tired of wrestling with spreadsheets and manual reporting, PlaidCloud is a true game changer.

What makes PlaidCloud so valuable for our field is that they truly understand ABA. Their executive dashboards provide direct visibility into scheduling, claims, outcomes, and profitability — giving behavior analysis organizations the financial clarity they need to make smarter decisions and invest more confidently in the care they provide. From cost allocation modeling and segmented profitability to AI-powered insights and seamless ERP integration, PlaidCloud brings enterprise-level financial intelligence to the organizations doing the most important work.

The bottom line? Most customers are live within 4 to 6 weeks with full deployment support — because PlaidCloud knows that time spent on clunky financial tools is time taken away from the people who matter most. 📊

We are so honored to have PlaidCloud investing in the women of behavior analysis and helping make WIBA 2026 an incredible experience. Thank you, PlaidCloud! 🙌✨

Stride Autism Centers believes every child with autism deserves an independent and joyous future — and that belief is the foundation of everything they do. Specializing in center-based ABA programs for children ages 2 to 6 across Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota, Stride's best-in-class clinical team uses evidence-based therapy to empower preschool learners and their families.

The outcomes Stride achieves speak for themselves: 71% of clients mainstream into general education classrooms after Stride, 98% of parents report meaningful improvements in their child's ability to initiate communication, and their staff retention rate is 2.9 times higher than the industry benchmark. That is what clinical excellence and a culture of genuine care looks like in action.

What makes Stride especially meaningful is the heart behind its founding. Stride's founder Brad Zelinger has dedicated over 30 years to supporting his sister, who lives with an autism-related disorder — and witnessing the challenges she faced, and knowing how much she would have benefitted from ABA therapy, fuels Stride's commitment to providing exceptional care every single day.

With 23 award-winning centers and growing, Stride is the leading provider of center-based ABA across the Midwest — and we are so honored to have them investing in the women who are shaping the future of behavior analysis. Thank you, Stride Autism Centers®!

🌟 We are so thrilled to welcome Kelly Pediatric Therapy as a Major Sponsor of the 9th Annual Women in Behavior Analysis Conference this July! 🎉

At Kelly Pediatric Therapy, they are dedicated to connecting skilled therapists to our nation's schools, early intervention programs, and families — because when children access the therapeutic services they need, anything is possible.

What makes Kelly Pediatric Therapy truly stand out is their deep investment in the people who deliver care. They maintain a strong 93% retention rate among their OT, PT, and SLP providers — 30% higher than the industry average — ensuring that children work with the same trusted providers over time, building the consistent relationships that are essential to meaningful outcomes. That kind of commitment to continuity and quality is something the WIBA community deeply admires.

Backed by the powerhouse of Kelly, no other provider is equipped to attract and retain pediatric therapists at scale, drawing from a national talent pipeline that no specialty provider can match on its own. From early intervention and school-based therapy to outpatient care and research-backed therapy programming, Kelly Pediatric Therapy supports children along the entire therapy continuum — and supports the behavioral health professionals who make it all possible.

Thank you, Kelly Pediatric Therapy, for your generous Major Sponsorship and for investing in the women who are showing up every day to empower kids and transform lives! We are so honored to have you with us this July!

🌟 We are so thrilled to welcome Gracent Pediatric Therapy as a Major Sponsor of the 9th Annual Women in Behavior Analysis Conference this July! 🎉

Gracent cares for children with developmental needs and their families through a network of interdisciplinary pediatric therapy centers, delivering individualized, evidence-based care guided by data, not generic recommendations. Their philosophy says it best: "Because if every kid gets the same plan, it's not a plan."

With 340+ clinicians committed to one standard, a 4.7/5 family satisfaction rating, 15 centers across Illinois and Texas, and a 100% BCBA exam pass rate in their fieldwork program, Gracent is raising the bar for what pediatric therapy can and should look like. BCBAs, SLPs, OTs, mental health clinicians, and neuropsychologists all work together, building one cohesive plan — because great outcomes come from a system designed to let every part of the care model actually work together. 🌟

We also love that Gracent is pushing the field forward with innovation. Their Care Calculator uses validated, peer-reviewed methodology to match treatment intensity to each child's actual needs — evaluating 29 clinical factors across social communication, adaptive skills, behavior, and safety, with 88% interrater reliability. Not guesswork. Not defaults. Data. 📊

Gracent grows their clients' and families' potential, their clinicians' potential, and the behavioral health industry's potential — and that mission could not align more beautifully with what WIBA is all about. We are so honored to have them with us this July!

Thank you, Gracent, for investing in the women who are shaping the future of behavior analysis! 🙌✨

🌟 We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Floreo as a Major Sponsor of the 9th Annual Women in Behavior Analysis Conference this July! 🎉✨

Floreo is doing something truly groundbreaking in the world of behavioral health. Floreo is a research-based virtual reality therapy platform that uses immersive VR experiences to teach social, behavioral, and life skills to neurodiverse individuals of any age and ability.

Their tagline says it all: Practice in VR. Grow in Real Life.

What makes Floreo extraordinary is the care and rigor behind every lesson. Floreo's research-based simulations are developed by clinicians, therapists, engineers, and neurodiverse people themselves, creating a safe, supportive digital space where learners can practice communication and social skills at their own pace. And the recognition they have earned reflects just how innovative their work is: Floreo has received the FDA's breakthrough device designation and been accepted into the Total Product Life Cycle Advisory Program (TAP), making them a true pioneer at the intersection of technology and behavioral health. 🏅

Floreo is telehealth ready, works with readily available technology, and offers a constantly growing lesson library, making cutting-edge VR therapy more accessible than ever for providers, schools, and families alike. This is exactly the kind of forward-thinking innovation the WIBA community loves to celebrate!
