Practice
ABAI supports issues related to scientist-practitioners through the work of the Practice Board, which focuses on matters of interest to agencies and providers of behavior analysis services.
Practice Board
Mission: To meet the needs of scientist-practitioners of ABAI who provide behavior analytic services consistent with the scientific foundations of the field.
The Practice Board's goals have been reformulated recently so that its primary mission is to bring the scholarship of a scientific Association to issues facing practitioners; the Practice Board is currently developing areas in which these goals may be pursued.
