Promoting Behavior Analysis:

Members can become certified in behavior analysis through the Behavior Analyst Certification Board® (www.bacb.com). The main purpose of this organization is:

to develop, promote, and implement a voluntary national and international certification program for behavior analyst practitioners. The BACB has established uniform content, standards, and criteria for the credentialing process and seeks to ensure that its program meets 1) the legal standards established through state, federal and case law; 2) the standards for national certification programs as established by the National Organization for Competency Assurance (of which it is a Member) and the National Commission for Certifying Agencies; and 3) the “best practice” and ethical standards of the behavior analysis profession.
