Our Mission and Vision
The Hawai‘i Association for Behavior Analysis (HABA) is committed to advancing the field of behavior analysis across the islands through advocacy, education, and inclusive collaboration. We provide year-round opportunities for professional growth, connection, and action that reflect the diversity and spirit of our local communities. Our mission includes expanding access to evidence-based practices, promoting ethical standards, and supporting meaningful inclusion of professionals, families, students, and individuals receiving services.
Commitment to DEIA
HABA embraces a deep and ongoing commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Accessibility, and Acceptance (DEIA). Rooted in the values of aloha and respect for all cultures and identities, we actively foster an environment that values lived experience, removes systemic barriers, and supports equitable participation across roles and communities. We seek to amplify voices across Hawai‘i's diverse population, ensuring that all individuals feel seen, heard, and empowered through our work.
Annual Events and Engagement
Through annual conventions, monthly events, and collaborative partnerships, HABA promotes access to innovative training and conversations that elevate our field. Whether through legislative action, family-centered initiatives, or island-specific gatherings, we aim to cultivate a vibrant, resilient behavior analytic community that reflects the unique needs of Hawai‘i.
