Jordan ABA
By Maria Isabel Muñoz Blanco and Linda J. Hayes
The Jordan chapter of the Association for Behavior Analysis International (JorABA) was founded in 2009 at the first JorABA conference. The first conference featured presentations by 11 graduates of the Applied Behavior Health Analysis (ABHA) Program at the Jordan University of Science and Technology (JUST), with discussions by Dr. Barbara Kohlenberg, Dr. Linda Hayes, and Erick Dubuque. Since its establishment in 2009, the membership of JorABA has increased to 45, including 34 student members and 11 full members. The next meeting of JorABA is scheduled for December 2011. This conference will celebrate the graduations of the second and third cohorts in the ABHA Program and feature their final research projects. In addition to these conferences, JorABA has a website (http://jordanaba.org/) where members can find information about future events and job opportunities in the region. The website is also used to promote the training program at JUST and disseminate information about behavior analysis. The current president of JorABA is Ala'a Awad.
