Last year I facilitated a community art project for Down Syndrome Connection Las Vegas annual Conference. They chose the art project as the T-shirt design for this year’s conference. It’s so cool to see my design on a T-Shirt #DSCLV #DSCNV @downsyndromeconnectionslv by @nyettaabernathy

This can’t be real life. Parents of preteen boys or teen boys let me know if this is going on in your house. I feed these vacuums 3 meals a day (they are responsible for making their own lunch). I understand having snacks in between meals sometimes but I went grocery shopping 4 days ago and an entire box of crackers, a 5 pound bag of apples, a whole container of goldfish and a half of a pack of popsicle are all gone. IN 4 DAYS!!!!! How is this possible?!?! There is only 2 of them and I had none of it…. This can’t be life…. Does it get worse as they become teens? They need job? lol 😂 by @nyettaabernathy

💜 Why does Mindful Behavior exist?

Because better disability services are built WITH disabled people, not just FOR them!

We believe in humanizing ABA services, dismantling ableist practices, enhancing social validity, and platforming lived experience. We believe connection matters more than compliance, and that the people most affected by disability services should help shape them.

We also believe platforming lived experience means compensating people fairly.

Our speakers receive 100% of live ticket sales. Mindful Behavior retains only the cost of the optional CEU add on to help cover expenses such as our website, technology, booking platform, CEU processing, payment processing, and liability insurance. We do not profit from our speakers content.

We offer values based CEU pricing because accessibility is not an afterthought. It is one of our core values.

We listen.
We collaborate.
We compensate.
We act with integrity.

Our core team consists of:
@jenileesunshine
@beardedbehaviorist
@nyettaabernathy
@theemidnightgospel

This is who we are, what we value, and why we do this work. 💜

🧸 What are we ACTUALLY preparing our learners for?

Because if our goals only teach compliance, tolerance, and following directions… we may be missing some of the most important life skills of all.

Can our learners:
✨ communicate discomfort?
✨ request accommodations?
✨ advocate for boundaries?
✨ express disagreement safely?
✨ identify and honor their own needs?

Self advocacy is not an extra skill after behavior reduction.

It IS quality of life.

Join Mindful Behavior for an important conversation about embedding autonomy, assent, communication, and personal agency directly into treatment planning.
