Our messageHABA works diligently on legislative and policy issues that directly impact our community, such as securing autism insurance coverage and supporting behavior analyst licensure, which have significantly expanded access to ABA services across Hawai‘i. Our efforts also include sustainability initiatives to ensure the longevity of these services. HABA offers both in-person and online workshops for educators, parents, students, and practitioners to promote evidence-based practices and strengthen our community. Each fall, HABA proudly hosts its annual convention on Oʻahu, bringing together leading professionals, researchers, and educators to share the latest advancements in behavior analysis and foster collaboration |
