ABA International
What is ABA international?

The ABA International Project is designed to assist international students whose native language is not English in understanding the presentations during the annual ABA conventions. In the 2003 ABA Convention, we will focus on two major language groups that are Spanish and Japanese attendees. Speakers will be invited to talk to these two international groups. The presentations will take place in different conference rooms and a translator will convey the information into the native language that the group speaks and vice versa. A relaxed and family-like environment will be created for both the speakers and the international groups.

The responsibilities of the ABA International Project include inviting speakers, recruiting volunteer translators for each international group, promoting this project to international students who plan to come to the convention, and lastly advertising the project to all the ABA members for future planning.

Our ultimate goal is to facilitate the process of active involvement of the international attendees during the convention, and to heighten international peoples interest in behavior analysis, and in turn, leading to the dissemination of behavior analysis all over the world.
