The concept of the promise of applied behavior analysis refers to the foundational commitment that the science of behavior analysis will be applied ethically, rigorously, and in the genuine service of the individuals who receive its interventions. This promise encompasses the field's commitment to scientific integrity, evidence-based practice, ethical conduct, and meaningful outcomes for clients.

Join Free →FABA's 2023 Presidential Address introduced the concept of 'The Promise" of Applied Behavior Analysis and discussed the changes in our educational and professional practices over the past two decades that have put this promise in jeopardy. The panelists are being brought together to discuss how their individual areas make up the pillars of promise keeping through the important work that they are doing in the field. It will take the coordination and collaboration of our behavioral scientists, university educators, accreditation and professional associations, payor sources and provider agency leaders to move the field back to practices that align with the very nature of our original teachings in behavior analysis. The panelists will share their ideas for KEEPING THE PROMISE and getting back to what our science offers to the world through ethical, science-based practices within the profession.
