Closing Keynote: Kelly Hartman

Culture, Perception and the Pursuit of Happiness

Kelly is the President & CEO at Insights Consulting, Inc a company named to the Top Workplaces in Indianapolis for nine years, Co-Founder of Outside the Box – a day program known for it’s innovation, and has served the Indiana Association of Behavioral Consultants since it’s inception in 2001.

In her near 30 year career of supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities — she has always maintained a focus on individual’s capabilities, not their disabilities. In her passion to help people achieve better outcomes in life – she believes in building on what a person CAN do through teaching a non-aversive, person centered approach to personal success.

Through her very “real” training style, Hartman is best known for her sense of humor and helping us see things from a different perspective.

This year, Kelly will present “Culture, Perception and the Pursuit of Happiness”… Providing Behavior Supports stretches far beyond simply completing a Behavioral Assessment and writing a Behavior Support plan.

Beyond the BMAN basics, we will explore how culture, perception and the pursuit of happiness impact our work in the lives of people who chose us.
