Speech Pathology and Applied Behavior Analysis SIG

teachWhat is the SPABA SIG?

The mission of the Speech Pathology Special Interest Group (SPABA) is to promote 1) dissemination of behaviorally oriented speech and language research and 2) application of evidence-based practices relevant to the full range of services provided by speech and language professionals.

This collaboration between speech pathologists and behavior analysts has strong benefits for consumers of our services to treat speech, language, and swallowing disorders. In addition, it enhances communication between our related professions through conference presentations, collaborative research, workshops, publication of treatment protocols and materials, and many other venues.

Members

Our members are speech pathologists, behavior analysts, and students in these two fields who advocate a behavioral approach to address speech, language, and swallowing disorders both clinically and through empirical research. Most of our members are certified in either speech pathology (www.asha.org) or behavior analysis (www.bacb.com), although more are obtaining certification in both professional areas.

For membership information, email Jamie Severtson, SPABA SIG membership chair (SPABASIG@yahoo.com).

How can I get involved?

talkThe SPABA SIG meets annually at the Association for Behavior Analysis conference (www.abainternational.org/events.asp). Interested professionals and students are encouraged to attend and share their perspectives.
