Advancing Understanding and Raising Awareness in Our Community and Beyond

Community Jun 17, 2021

Advocating for our clients, through education and awareness activities in the broader community, is an ongoing mission for Potential. Here are just a few recent ways in which our team members have been serving the autism community:

Karen Yosmanovich, MEd, BCBA, LBS, Clinical Manager, collaborated with two other organizations and chaired a panel on “Teaching from Joy: Applying Practical Functional Assessment & Treatment Across Settings,” at the New Jersey Association for Behavior Analysis Conference in April.
“Improving Interactions Between Police and People with Autism,” written by Kristine Quinby, was featured in the Spring 2021 issue of Autism Spectrum News.
In April, Jordan Hulas, BCBA, Program Coordinator, talked with Rider University about his decision to attend the school and how it prepared him for his career with Potential.
Tanya Hough, MS, BCBA, Adult Program Coordinator, and Karen Yosmanovich presented their poster, “Don’t Train and Hope: A Model for Staff Development,” at ABAI 2021 in May.
In a feature by Rider University, alum Kristine Quinby reflected on how her college experience and internships led her to become the founder and CEO of Potential.
