Our Purpose

The purposes of the society are:
  • To function in British Columbia, Canada, as the liaison with, and representative of the Association for Behavior Analysis, ABA International.
  • To advance behaviour analysis in the province of British Columbia. BC-ABA's interests lie in basic science focusing on principles governing human and nonhuman behaviour (i.e., the experimental analysis of behaviour) as well as applied science focusing on application of those principles for improvement of socially important problems (applied behaviour analysis), and disseminating this information to stimulate interest in and correct misunderstandings of behaviour analysis in the general public.
  • To work towards the regulation of behaviour analysis practitioners in British Columbia.
