About PennABA

Welcome to the official web site for the Pennsylvania Association

for Behavior Analysis. The chapter's primary concerns are fostering

the creation of more behavior analysts within Pennsylvania,

clarifying BACB certification issues for our members, and

maintaining the scientific integrity of the field in our practice as

behavior analysts.

PennABA provides a networking opportunity for behavior analysts,

special educators, and students. Our annual conference provides

BCBA, BCABA, and Act 48 continuing Education Credits at no

additional charge.

About PennABA

The Pennsylvania Chapter for the Association of Behavior

Analysis (PennABA) was incorporated in 1998. Richard M. Foxx

and William Helsel saw a need to support behavior analysis in

the state of Pennsylvania. In 2000 Richard Kubina chaired a

meeting at ABA to help elect PennABA’s first set of officers.

With the creation of PennABA, service providers, teachers,

students, and families in Pennsylvania gained a resource, which

fosters the application and growth of behavior analysis.

PennABA has been encouraged with the growth in the

demographics of its membership. Not only have seasoned

professionals who provide ABA services maintain a membership

in PennABA, but students, teachers, and direct care providers,

and family members of those needing services have joined the

ranks. With the goal of supplying members with skills and

resources in behavior analysis, PennABA has dedicated its’

annual conference to providing speakers who encourage and

foster behavior analysis within the lives of its members.
