Why the Room Matters as Much as the Speakers

A conference is only as good as the conversation it creates.

At the LBSA 2026 Behavioral Support Mini-Conference, that conversation happens between people who rarely sit at the same table.

Direct support professionals notice things others miss. They see the small shifts: someone stops sleeping, refuses the van or grows quiet at breakfast. Families carry history no chart can capture. They know what has been tried, what helped and what got missed along the way. Nurses and clinicians bring training that helps translate a behavior into a possible medical or psychiatric cause. Program leaders and hospital teams hold the systems view, connecting daily life to clinical care.

None of these groups see the whole picture alone. A direct support worker without medical training might miss a physical cause behind a behavior change. A clinician without daily context might miss what triggered it in the first place. When these groups learn from each other instead of working in separate lanes, the person at the center gets better support.

This mini-conference is built for that kind of exchange. Not a room of speakers talking at an audience, but a room full of people who each hold part of the answer.

Tickets are only $35. Space is limited, secure your spot today!
