Michael Represents TBU for QABA at the Saudi Autism Research Conference 2025 in Riyadh

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia — TBU for QABA is proud to announce Michael’s successful international outreach on behalf of the organization at the Saudi Autism Research Conference 2025 this past fall. Held in Riyadh earlier this year, the conference brought together leading researchers, clinicians, and educators committed to advancing autism services throughout the world. Michael presented on the growth and implementation of the evidence-based benefits of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) across educational and clinical settings, emphasizing how these practices create meaningful, measurable outcomes for individuals on the autism spectrum and their families.

During his time in Riyadh, Michael engaged with local clinicians, educators, and policy advocates to explore the evolving role of ABA within Saudi Arabia. Discussions focused on expanding access to high-quality behavioral services, improving training opportunities for practitioners, and strengthening community awareness. His participation reinforced TBU for QABA’s dedication to supporting culturally responsive, globally informed ABA practices that respect the unique needs, values, and goals of each region.

Following the Riyadh conference, Michael continued his international advocacy in Cairo, Egypt, where he presented at the Cairo Conference to participate in QABA’s effort to further broaden certification pathways throughout the Middle East. In collaboration with local universities, clinical providers, and community leaders, Michael discussed advancing the development of ABA services in Egypt and supported efforts to establish sustainable frameworks for professional training, service delivery, and long-term, lasting community impact.

These engagements across the Middle East strengthened global partnerships and highlighted the shared mission to ensure that individuals with autism—regardless of where they may be located—receive the highest standard of care. Michael’s work underscores TBU for QABA’s commitment to expanding education, excellence, and compassionate practice worldwide. As ABA continues to surge in international growth and implementation, TBU for QABA remains honored to contribute to meaningful progress for practitioners, families, and communities around the globe.
