Alabama Association for Behavior Analysis serves as a scientific and professional reference group that embraces the principles and practices of behavior analysis. Our goal is to promote research that will advance understanding of both human and animal behavior and to identify and promote the use of effective and humane behavioral procedures that meet the educational and habilitative needs of individuals. In addition, ALABA strives to serve as a resource for political, legislative, and policy-making bodies in Alabama in ways that support the scientific and professional interests of behavior analysis.
The Association for Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the premier professional organization for those adhering to the functional approach to behavior change.

The mission of the United Way of Southwest Alabama is to improve the quality of life in the community. The United Way of Southwest Alabama will strengthen communities by focusing on uniting and mobilizing resources that support the building blocks for a better life: Education, Financial Stability, Health, and Essentials. Advancing the common good is less about helping one person at a time and more about changing systems to help all of us. We strengthen neighborhoods, bolster the health of our communities and change the lives of those who walk by us every day by helping and collaborating with local nonprofit agencies, and providing financial, volunteer, and advocacy support.
We also advocate for social issues, convene community leaders from across all sectors to solve local human services problems, provide volunteers for a myriad of local projects, study and address long-term solutions to emerging social challenges, and raise funds through workplace campaigns and individual donors.
