BABAT is an affiliated chapter of the Association for Behavior Analysis International and of the Association of Professional Behavior Analysts. Formed in 1979, BABAT is perhaps best known for the annual conferences it has hosted at UMass (Amherst) every year for over 30 years. This conference is for professionals, teachers, students, and persons interested in the areas of behavior analysis, autism, developmental disabilities, ethics, behavioral medicine, staff development, and more. BABAT is more than an organization the hosts an annual conference, however. We also disseminate a bi-annual newsletter, The New England Behavior Analyst, host professional social events and serve as a resource for behavior analysts and those interested in behavior analysis in the region.
