Behavior Analysis and the Public Policy Process JAMES C. GROSS, Nielsen, Merksamer, Parrinello, Mueller, & Naylor, LLP
The profession of behavior analysis is becoming a cornerstone in the treatment of children with ASD. However, in the public policy arena, the area where laws are debated and enacted, the profession is unknown, and until recently, unrepresented. As the debate over access to services for these children proceeds in the state Legislature in the next year, it is vital that the profession be both represented and active through its members. The profession must participate in the political process to make the case for the services it provides. This presentation will discuss in detail what the key issues are and how the profession can and should bring its message to policy makers.
