x-post: Re: States recognition/licensing BACB, AND mtg. at ABA San Diego

[Guest guest]

Greetings,

Maybe this is news you can use--please forward this if you know anyone who might

be concerned or interested in these issues.

1. I have temporarily set up a page with licensing and BACB recognition status

in different states (if you have updated information for your state, please send

it to me and I will post it). There is also some info on what APA Division 12

considers evidence for empirically evidenced treatments, AND

the projects of ABA Internationals Professional Affairs Council/PAC, per last

year's ABA newsletter if you missed reading it.

2. An announcement of the PAC meeting at ABA San Diego that you might consider

attending if you have concerns, question or comment about legislation,

recognition of the certification, licensing, etc.

Here is the information on the date and time of this event:

Abstract: The mission of the Professional Affairs Committee of ABA is to

focus on the practice of behavior analysis, including certification,

continuing education, code of ethics, practice standards, legislation and

public policy, and all other issues important to the research and practice

of behavior analysts. This meeting is to present the work of the PAC over

the past year and solicit issues important to ABA members.

I hope you can be there to participate in this forum to find out what the PAC is

working on, to state your opinions and to move forward the

interests of behavior analysts (and consumers of behavior analytic services).
