Dear NJABA Members,

I’m excited to share some significant news for behavior analysts in New Jersey. The NJ Applied Behavior Analysis License Application is now open! This is a crucial step to ensure that only qualified professionals with the necessary education and experience can practice in our state. You can access the application here: NJ ABA License Application.

This milestone wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication and hard work of many individuals who tirelessly advocated for our profession. While they are too numerous to name individually, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed their time, expertise, and passion to make licensure a reality in New Jersey. Your efforts have paved the way for a brighter future in our field.

Additionally, Governor Murphy has signed the criminal background check bill into law, which is now part of the licensure process. This underscores the commitment to the safety and well-being of those we serve. You can read more about this update here: Criminal Background Check Bill.

Looking ahead, we are thrilled to invite you to the NJABA 20th Annual Conference on Friday, April 25, 2025, with a pre-conference workshop and reception on Thursday, April 24. We are honored to have Dr. Matthew Brodheadas our pre-conference workshop speaker and Dr. John Borrero as the opening keynote speaker for the main conference.

Thank you for your continued dedication to our field. Together, we’re making a positive impact in our communities.

President, NJABA
