The  mission of the California Association for Behavior Analysis is to  promote the science and theory of behavior analysis through the support  of research, education and practice.

We sponsor the top regional conference on behavior analysis in the United States and regularly feature well known researchers and clinicians from throughout the United States.

We are the primary clearinghouse for research and training in behavior analysis in the Western Region of the United States.

The  California Association for Behavior Analysis was formed in 1998 when  two organizations joined together: The Northern California Association  for Behavior Analysis (NCABA) and the Association for Behavior Analysis  and Therapy/Southern California (ABAT/SC).

In order to fulfill this mission, CalABA commits to the following activities:

1. Support a certification process for behavior analysts and assistant behavior analysts;
2. Advocate for behavior analysis services and the profession;
3. Promote quality assurance in behavior analysis;
4. Provide resources and information related to behavior analysis;
5. Advance behavior analysis via professional development activities
