About
After a brief period of inactivity from 2003 to 2008, NWABA became an active participant among the affiliate chapters of the Association for Behavior Analysis International (ABAI). In 2013, the active behavior analysts’ part of NWABA re-wrote the bylaws and elected to rename it the Washington Association for Behavior Analysis (WABA) after applying for this change to the Association for Behavior Analysis International. Other states and provinces (Oregon and British Columbia) had already organized their own chapters and this unveiling meant the rebirth and refocusing of WABA’s mission; the individual non-profit organization decided to focus its scope on Washington State. Our current mission is to build a cohesive group of individuals in Washington State dedicated to promoting the ethical research, education, and practice of behavior analysis. Indeed, we are devoted to the science of behavior and its application to social issues, and hope to provide better services and advocacy for all those affected in the State. |
