HISTORY of MTABA
The Montana Association of Behavior Analysis was established under the leadership of Dr. Cheryl Young-Pelton in November of 2013. MTABA's original members met for the first time in October and status as an affiliate chapter of ABAI was approved in November of 2013. Here is a link to Montana's ABAI Affiliate Page. In October of 2020, MTABA became an affiliate of the Association of Professional Behavior Analysts (APBA).
During the 2017 Montana legislative session (as seen below), Senate Bill 193 added the governance of behavior analysts and assistant behavior analysts to the Board of Psychologists. Here is a link to Montana's Board of Psychologists page.
