Mission/Objectives
The Georgia Association for Behavior Analysis (GABA) was founded in 2001 to provide: 1) a professional network and resource for behavior analysts in Georgia; 2) a forum for members to collaborate, disseminate recent research, share ideas, and discuss needs; 3) a voice to promote the ethical and effective use of behavior analysis; 4) a resource for those seeking applied behavior analysis services in Georgia; 5) the organization of an annual conference; and 6) continuing education for professionals in Georgia.
Description of Membership
GABA's membership has grown significantly in the last year to include not only professional behavior analysts but also psychologists, educators, students, advocates, and others from all parts of the state. We now have approximately 110 members.
Recurring Annual Events
We hold an annual conference that typically takes place in late summer to early fall. We are also working to create more recurring events throughout the year and throughout the state. This year we hope to increase attendance at the annual conference to at least 150 participants.
Publications/Newsletters
GABA publishes a monthly newsletter which is sent to all members and is available on the website.
Specifically of Interest to Behavior Analysts
GABA strives to serve behavior analysts in the state in many ways by creating networking opportunities, offering continuing education, and providing other resources to meet their needs. Many of the state initiatives are increasing the need for BCBAs in our area. We hope to recruit more behavior analysts to Georgia to meet these needs.
