Happy Saturday!
Just received this email from ABAI:
'The Presidents of the Association for Behavior Analysis International (ABAI), the Association of Professional Behavior Analysts (APBA), and the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) met on December 11, 2011 to discuss how these organizations can best serve and advance the field of behavior analysis. The discussion covered the aims and efforts of the three organizations in approaching that overall goal, the relationships among the organizations, and the role each plays in our discipline. This constructive meeting reinforced the importance of cooperating to advance our field, and resulted in the following affirmation:
ABAI, APBA, and the BACB pledge to work together to support and advance the interests of the field of behavior analysis. We acknowledge the importance of each organization’s role, and agree to move forward in a cooperative and collegial manner.
Approved by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board, March 7, 2012
Approved by the Association of Professional Behavior Analysts Board of Directors, March 15, 2012
Approved by the Executive Council of the Association for Behavior Analysis International, May 25, 2012'
At a recent meeting of IL-ABA there was some discussion on the split between ABAI and APBA, so I am glad to hear that some reconciliation is happening.
This is really going to go a long way in ensuring that the profession stays the cohesive and cutting edge.
