Ohio ABA
By Dr. Sheilba Alber-Morgan
We are pleased to announce the new Ohio Chapter of ABAI, OH ABA. The introductory meeting will be held at the 35th annual convention of the Association for Behavior Analysis International 2009 in Phoenix on Memorial Day weekend. Please check the ABAI program for date, time, and location. ABAI members who reside or work in Ohio are invited and encouraged to attend as elections for offices for 2010 will be held. If you are interested in contributing the development of OH ABA and/or would like to run for an office, please e-mail Sheila Alber-Morgan (morgan.651@osu.edu) or Terri Hessler (hessler.16@osu.edu) by April 1, 2009.
OH ABA’s mission is to support the growth and dissemination of applied behavior analysis in the public and private sectors, with special emphasis on application in educational settings. Objectives include supporting the Focus on Behavior Analysis in Education conference held in Columbus every 10 years (the next one scheduled for 2012); starting and maintaining a peer reviewed electronic journal; and supporting BCBA certification for OH ABA members. Membership is open to faculty, students, parents, clinicians, teachers, administrators, and anyone interested in applied behavior analysis; membership levels and dues will be discussed at the introductory meeting.
OH ABA’s interim leadership is as follows:
- Sheila Alber-Morgan, interim president
- Terri Hessler, interim vice president
- Laurice Joseph, interim secretary
- Helen Malone, interim treasurer
- Moira Konrad, interim membership director
