Assembly Resolution No. 662
 
BY: M. of A. Peoples-Stokes
 
        MEMORIALIZING  Governor  Kathy  Hochul to proclaim
        March 20, 2022, as  Behavior  Analysis  Day  in  the
        State   of   New   York,  in  conjunction  with  the
        observance of World Behavior Analysis Day
 
  WHEREAS, The profession of behavior analysis is a natural science of
behavior that was first developed in the 1930s; and
 
  WHEREAS, Behavior analytic researchers use the methods of the  basic
science -- the experimental analysis of behavior -- to address questions
about how behavior works and how it changes; and
 
  WHEREAS, Starting in the 1940s and 1950s, some behavioral scientists
showed   that   the   principles  and  procedures  discovered  by  early
researchers could  be  used  to  build  useful  skills  in  people  with
developmental and psychiatric disorders; and
 
  WHEREAS,  Early  applied behavior analysts implemented interventions
in schools, homes, and other everyday settings, emphasizing the  use  of
positive  reinforcement  to help individuals improve behaviors that were
important to them and to those with whom they interacted; and
 
  WHEREAS, The discipline has grown  substantially  so  that  behavior
analysis  is  now  a  robust  field  with theoretical, experimental, and
applied branches and distinct  research  methods,  scientific  journals,
textbooks,  scholarly  and  professional  organizations,  and university
training programs; and
 
  WHEREAS, Thousands of studies published in scientific journals  have
demonstrated the efficacy of many ABA procedures - singly and in various
combinations  --  for building useful skills and reducing behaviors that
impede healthy, successful functioning in many clinical and non-clinical
populations; and
 
  WHEREAS,  The  practice  of  ABA  is  a  distinct  profession   with
well-established,  widely  recognized  professional and paraprofessional
practitioner standards and credentials; and
 
  WHEREAS, The State of New York first  recognized  and  licensed  the
profession of behavior analysis in 2014; and
 
  WHEREAS, Worldwide celebrations will be held on and around March 20,
2022,   to   commemorate  the  profession  of  behavior  analysis;  now,
therefore, be it
 
  RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its  deliberations  to
memorialize  Governor  Kathy  Hochul  to  proclaim  March  20,  2022, as
Behavior Analysis Day in the State of New York; and be it further
 
  RESOLVED, That a copy of this  Resolution,  suitably  engrossed,  be
transmitted  to The Honorable Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of New
York.
