For the Love of this Field: Advocating and Collaborating with a United Purpose
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.
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.
