Israel ABA
By Dr. Amos Rolider
Israel ABA (IABA) was founded in 2003 and became affiliated with the International Association in 2004. Currently, there are about 60 members and affiliates. Since its establishment, three national ABA conferences have been held; two in Wingate Institute and one in Emek Yezreel College, with an average of 300 participants in each. Currently, there are two programs that train new behavior analysts that are recognized and accredited by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board: one located in Wingate Institute and the other in the University of Tel Aviv. So far, 19 members are certified by the BACB. IABA’s goals for the upcoming year are:
- to publish Annual ABA newsletter.
- to have at least 400 participants in the next annual conference.
- to complete the ethics guidelines in Hebrew and distribute it among the members.
- to complete the work on the ABA terminology in Hebrew.
- to work with BACB on translation of the board examinations and the tasks list to Hebrew.
- to increase its membership by at least 25%.
- to strengthen the relationship with other affiliated chapters and the International Association for Behavior Analysis.
