Positive Behavior Support
By Dr. Matt Tincani
The PBS SIG addresses members of ABA engaged in experimental and applied analyses of behavior who are interested in positive behavior support. Established in 2005, the goals of the SIG are to promote and disseminate positive behavior support within ABA.
PBS SIG currently has over 50 members, including Officers Matt Tincani, Cynthia Anderson, and Patricia Egan. PBS SIG also maintains an electronic listserv with over 100 recipients, many of whom belong to both ABA and the Association for Positive Behavior Support (APBS). Goals of the PBS-SIG are to:
- Increase the number and visibility of PBS presentations at the ABA Conference.
- Disseminate accurate information about PBS to ABA’s membership.
- Promote methodologically sound, data-based PBS research.
- Encourage open dialogue among behavior analysts and proponents of PBS.
Anyone who is interested in behavior analysis or positive behavior support is welcome to join the SIG. To become involved, you can e-mail Matt Tincani at tincanim@unlv.nevada.edu or visit our Website at www.pbsaba.org. For information about joining our listserv, go to www.pbsaba.org/listserv.php
