Muscat: The National Autism Center (NAC) has reached a historic turning point by becoming the first organization in the Arab region to obtain full membership status with the Qualified Applied Behavior Analysis Credentialing Board (QABA), a famous US-based authority in applied behavior analysis.
Officially accredited by QABA, the Ministry of Social Development, NAC's recognition highlights its leadership in specialised training and certification for autism services. Membership gives NAC sole authority to manage and monitor professional development programs, including certifications like the ABAT (Applied Behavior Analysis Technician), QASPS (Qualified Autism Services Practitioner Supervisor), and QBA (Qualified Behavior Analyst).
This certification indicates NAC's preparedness to establish international collaborations and improve its behavioral services infrastructure, making it the regional center for QABA's expansion initiatives.
