Abstract

The New York State Association for Behavior Analysis (NYSABA) is a state chapter of the Association for Behavior Analysis International (ABAI) and an affiliate chapter of the Association for Professional Behavior Analysts (APBA). From early in the history of the organization, NYSABA leadership has included a consumer representative position on the Board of Directors. Historically filled by a parent of an individual receiving applied behavior analysis (ABA) services, this position has proven invaluable to the organization. As described in this article, the consumer representative has not only allowed for important dialogue among individuals we support and professionals but has also had a major impact on public policy around the practice of behavior analysis in this state. NYSABA has worked closely with consumer representation to expand organizational knowledge and to obtain support for efforts related to insurance coverage for behavior analysis services and licensure for behavior analysts. A discussion of these efforts and the impact of this relationship is presented, along with specific action steps that are recommended for any organization seeking to include consumer voices in their leadership.

为了热爱这片土地为了一个共同的目标而倡导与合作

纽约州行为分析协会（NYSABA）是国际行为分析协会（ABAI）的一个州分会，也是专业行为分析师协会（APBA）的一个附属分会。从该组织成立之初，纽约行为分析协会的领导层就在董事会中设立了一个消费者代表的职位。该职位历来由接受应用行为分析（ABA）服务者的家长担任，事实证明，这一职位对该组织非常宝贵。正如本文所述，消费者代表不仅为我们所支持的个人和专业人士提供了重要的对话机会，还对本州有关行为分析实践的公共政策产生了重大影响。纽约州行为分析协会与消费者代表紧密合作，扩大了组织的知识面，并为行为分析服务的保险范围和行为分析师的执业资格争取到了支持。本文讨论了这些努力和这种关系的影响，并提出了具体的行动步骤，建议任何组织在其领导层中加入消费者的声音。

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.
