The Hoosier Association for Behavior Analysis (formerly Indiana ABA) is proud to be a state chapter of the Association for Behavior Analysis InternationalTM.  HABA was created by a group of interested practitioners and educators throughout the state of Indiana who saw a need to facilitate greater communication among professionals who are using the tools of applied behavior analysis, families who are accessing these services, universities who are training future practitioners, and policy makers attempting to regulate and define these services in Indiana. Many individuals with an interest in applied behavior analysis in the state had recognized the need for some time, and their efforts laid groundwork for the recent activities. The purpose of HABA is to encourage the understanding and application of applied behavior analysis in academic, research, and the natural environments, as well as to publish and distribute information on behavior analysis. Initial efforts in this regard will center on the development of a website to represent Indiana ABA and to centralize information and resources for interested parties. HABA also exists to promote the Behavior Analyst Certification Board as the appropriate credentialing body for credentialing practitioners of applied behavior analysis in the state of Indiana. HABA also will serve the professional community as a reference group for other practitioners working in disciplines that embrace the principles and practices of applied behavior analysis, encouraging the understanding and application of applied behavior analysis in academic, research, and the natural environments, and publishing and distributing information on behavior analysis.
