Advocating for Behavior Analysis in Texas

Our Story

The Texas Association for Behavior Analysis (TxABA) Public Policy Group (PPG) was established in November 2015 to advocate for policies that support and advance behavior analysis in Texas. 


 As a 501(c)(6) nonprofit organization, the PPG evolved from TxABA's earlier Behavior Analyst Public Policy Group (BAPPG-TX), reflecting a growing commitment to legislative engagement and public policy initiatives. Since its inception, the PPG has been instrumental in legislative efforts, including the successful passage of behavior analyst licensure in Texas in 2017 and adding ABA to the Autism Services benefit through Texas Medicaid in 2019.


 Through collaboration with stakeholders, public outreach, and resource development, the PPG continues to ensure that behavior analytic services in Texas are accessible, ethical, and effective for those who need them most.
