GO BIG THIS SUNDAY: Register for the Next PTB Big Exam Prep Workshop, Beginning 10 AM PST on Feb. 22

Congratulations to, Emily Hall, the Spring 2026 PTB Scholarship Recipient

Congratulations to Emily Hall, recipient of the spring 2026 PTB Scholarship. A resident of North Carolina, Emily is a future Board Certified Behavior Analyst® (BCBA) with an atypical journey to applied behavior analysis (ABA).

Previously a pre-K teacher, Emily’s first introduction to ABA vastly differed from the “new,” more inclusive and compassionate field she knows, and loves, today. After a BCBA changed her perspective on what ABA could accomplish for special needs children, Emily was “hooked” and began pursuing her certification with drive and determination.

Once certified, Emily hopes to partner with the Department of Social Services, child advocacy centers, and local mental health clinics to help children and their families who are at risk of out-of-home placement, so she can help families learn the tools that will help them stay together.

"I am truly grateful for this scholarship opportunity. This opportunity will help me get one step closer to becoming a BCBA and supporting families and children who face challenging behavior daily."

PTB is honored to support Ariel on her journey to becoming a BCBA®. As a scholarship recipient, she will receive complimentary registration to the PTB Big Exam Prep Workshop, a PTB ABA Exam Study Manual, and a one-on-one mentoring session with PTB founder Dana Meller.

The next PTB Big Exam Prep Workshop starts this Sunday, February 22, at 10:00 a.m. PST. Go Big with 6 weeks of mock exams, live lectures, study halls, and more. PTB’s multimodal exam prep masterclass covers the entire TCO, while building fluency and test-taking skills.

Register now for a February workshop, with Sunday and Tuesday classes available.
