Mission/Objectives

The mission of the Philadelphia Metropolitan Association for Behavior Analysis (Philadelphia Metropolitan ABA, formerly Delaware Valley ABA) is to bring together new and established behavior analysts from the region (Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland). Our objective is to provide continuing education for behavior analysts in an informal setting that has the atmosphere of a social gathering. This approach has been very successful at assembling behavior analysts during busy workweeks. Another primary goal of Philadelphia Metropolitan ABA is to increase cohesiveness among local behavior analysts who might otherwise be isolated as a result of working in diverse settings with service providers and researchers who are not behavior analytic. Many of our members are the only behavior analysts at their places of employment.
