Israel ABA
By Dr. Amos Rolider
Israel ABA has more than 50 active members and over 100 affiliates who participate in the chapter activity on a regular basis. In addition, 55 students are enrolled in the two graduate certification programs offered by the University of Tel Aviv led by Dr. Amos Rolider and Wingate Institute led by Dr. Eitan Eldar. Two conferences sponsored by IABA and the University of Tel Aviv were held covering a variety of theoretical and clinical topics for the benefit of over 200 participants who attended the events. For the first time, approved CE credits were awarded to the certified behavior analysts who participated and presented in the conferences. We have published our 2nd draft of ABA terms and principles translated into Hebrew and plan to publish our 2nd newsletter in the next few months. We strengthened our ties with the Behavior Analyst Certification Board and enjoyed the continued support and advice of its director Dr. Shook. Most of the students who have graduated from the Wingate and U of Tel Aviv programs found positions in a variety of educational and clinical agencies. The chapter’s main objectives for the upcoming year are to work toward recognition of the discipline as distinct and unique profession by the Ministry of Health and Education, increase membership, publishing an ABA journal in Hebrew and working toward establishing doctoral program in ABA in one of the universities.
