Abstract
In recent decades, behavior analysts have become involved in public policy and legislative efforts to protect the practice of the profession at state and national levels, as well as to support and protect the consumers of behavior analytic services. In the state of Nevada, these efforts have been ongoing since the introduction and passage of Nevada Assembly Bill (NAB) 162, establishing insurance coverage for autism spectrum disorder, in 2009. As a result, legislation establishing the regulation of the profession of behavior analysis was passed and subsequently amended over multiple legislative sessions. This article discusses various lessons learned throughout the ongoing licensing and regulatory process in Nevada, with hope of providing a resource for behavior analysts that are involved in public policy.
期刊介绍：
Behavior Analysis in Practice, an official journal of the Association for Behavior Analysis International, is a peer-reviewed translational publication designed to provide science-based, best-practice information relevant to service delivery in behavior analysis. The target audience includes front-line service workers and their supervisors, scientist-practitioners, and school personnel. The mission of Behavior Analysis in Practice is to promote empirically validated best practices in an accessible format that describes not only what works, but also the challenges of implementation in practical settings. Types of articles and topics published include empirical reports describing the application and evaluation of behavior-analytic procedures and programs; discussion papers on professional and practice issues; technical articles on methods, data analysis, or instrumentation in the practice of behavior analysis; tutorials on terms, procedures, and theories relevant to best practices in behavior analysis; and critical reviews of books and products that are aimed at practitioners or consumers of behavior analysis.
