Mission/Objectives
The purpose of the Florida Association for Behavior Analysis is to promote the use of effective and humane behavior analytic procedures in education, business, industry, government, and training in rehabilitation facilities throughout the State of Florida. This goal is to be achieved by providing a professional organization that members can look to for support and continued education as the field of behavior analysis develops and expands. The Association meets the needs of its members by organizing an annual state-wide conference for the exchange of ideas and data-based research related to behavior analysis, behavior therapy, performance management, and behavior management programming. In addition, the Association publishes the FABA quarterly Newsletter focusing on guidelines, new facilities, and new effective programs for treatment in Florida. To assist members in their search for information, FABA also publishes a Directory listing all members, their special areas of interest and expertise, and the Proceedings for each year's conference.
