About Us:

The number of ABA providers in Michigan's Upper Peninsula has grown significantly over the last decade. Local professionals know that high-quality training and resources often require extensive travel and expense. UPABA was established in 2019 with the assistance of a generous grant from the Superior Health Foundation in recognition of the growing need for local training & resources. Since then, the organization has provided webinars, annual conferences, and parent & caregiver trainings totaling nearly 40 hours of Type 2 CEU's to more than 70 regional members. 

The Upper Peninsula Association for Behavior Analysis was created with the mission to support the science and profession of behavior analysis through research, education, and practice by facilitating opportunities for professional development, promoting scientific inquiry and dissemination, advocating for policy and best-practices, and by supporting a collaborative network throughout the Upper Peninsula Region of Michigan. 

Specifically, UPABA strives to

• Serve as a scientific and professional reference and networking group for its members.

• Disseminate information to promote its mission to a wider audience.

• Organize an annual business meeting to provide a forum for discussion of the affairs of the chapter.
