ACU and Behavioral Innovations join forces to create more educational opportunities. Abilene Christian University (ACU) and Behavioral Innovations have joined together to expand access to higher education for professionals dedicated to supporting children with autism and their families. Through the partnership, Behavioral Innovations employees and affiliates will receive a tuition discount on certificate and degree programs offered online through ACU, along with a waived application fee. By making higher education more accessible and affordable, ACU and Behavioral Innovations are creating new opportunities for employees to continue their education, strengthen their skills and pursue their professional goals while continuing the meaningful work they do each day. For more than 25 years, Behavioral Innovations has worked to improve the lives of children with autism and their families through evidence-based applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy. Founded in Texas in 2000, the organization has grown from a single location into a network of more than 100 centers across six states while remaining committed to compassionate, family-centered care. That same commitment extends to the professionals who make its work possible. Behavioral Innovations invests in training, mentorship and professional growth for its clinicians and team members, allowing employees to strengthen their skills while continuing to make a difference. "ACU and Behavioral Innovations share a commitment to investing in people and creating opportunities for them to grow, serve and make a meaningful difference," said Jessica Manning, chief enrollment and partnerships officer for ACU. "Through this partnership, we are proud to support Behavioral Innovations employees as they pursue their educational and professional goals while continuing to serve children and families in their communities." ACU believes in the power of online learning and what it can do for those seeking to better themselves and accomplish their personal and professional goals. Through flexible online certificate and degree programs in healthcare, business, leadership and other fields, Behavioral Innovations employees can build new knowledge and skills to support their current roles and future goals. Along the way, students become part of a Christ-centered academic community where faculty and staff are dedicated to helping them grow personally, professionally and spiritually.
