| Military and Veterans Special Interest Group |

| The Military and Veterans SIG is devoted to the application of behavior analysis to US and UK military service members' and veterans’ issues. This is a group whose emphasis concerns US/UK/Canadian veterans of all wars; other wars may be included also. Governments have been concerned about the number of veterans suffering from brain or spinal injuries, post traumatic stress, suicidal issues, lack of access to social services, and addiction problems related to their active duty service. In each of these areas behavior analysis has developed effective treatments. This SIG promotes awareness of these issues and facilitates the research and practice of ABA with this population. |

| The Sexual Behavior Research and Practice SIG (SBRP SIG) was formed 18 years ago under the name Sex Therapy, Education and Practice. Although the name has changed, the overall mission of the SIG remains the same, to “help promote empirically verifiable sex education and therapy techniques and materials, and to promote behavior analytic research in human sexuality.” The SIG is also committed to the ideals of self determination, sexual expression as a human right, freedom of identity, and sex education as a social justice issue. At the annual business meeting attendees are invited to share ideas, ask questions, engage in discussion, and learn from each others' practice and research interests as related to sexuality and sexual behavior. It is also a forum to become acquainted with the workings of the SIG, meet SIG officers, network with colleagues, and become a part of the SIG. You do not need to be an SBRP SIG member to attend the business meeting. All who are interested are welcome to participate. |
