Muscat: The Ministry of Social Development, represented by the National Autism Centre, has joined the QABA board (Qualified Applied Behaviour Analysis Credentialing Board) as the Arab region's first full member. This action demonstrates the Sultanate of Oman's dedication to enhancing the quality of services offered to individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Full membership is awarded to qualified organizations in acknowledgment of their professional practices and comprehensive behavioral services infrastructure. It provides members with priority access to international collaborations and advanced training, with opportunities to upgrade to “accredited supervisory bodies” or “approved staff field training institutions. ”
