Speaker Information

We are excited to welcome Amy Kenzer, Ph.D., who will introduce the topic of psychological flexibility and explore how these important skills can be taught to children of all ages. Participants will learn about the six areas of psychological flexibility and how ACT and AIM curricula can be individualized to support children’s unique needs, strengths, and developmental levels.

The discussion will explore how psychological flexibility can help children navigate everyday challenges, respond to difficult thoughts and feelings, and engage in meaningful activities, even when things feel hard.

Dr. Kenzer is a licensed and board certified behavior analyst with nearly 30 years of experience in behavior analysis, including research, clinical services, and training. She earned her master’s and doctoral degrees in behavior analysis from the University of Nevada, Reno, and spent nearly a decade at SARRC. She is currently the co-founder of Joyful Learning Services, where she provides behavior-analytic services to children with learning differences, including autism, ADHD, and dyslexia, with a focus on academic learning and independence.
