The mission of the Journal of Speech-Language Pathology and Applied Behavior Analysis (JSLP-ABA) is to provide a forum for SLP and ABA professionals to exchange information on topics of mutual interest. These topics may include (but are not necessarily limited to) support for disorders of prelinguistic communication, speech perception/production, oral language and literacy, speech fluency, and voice. They may also address issues related to accent reduction, culturally-based language variations and augmentative-alternative communication. JSLP-ABA welcomes articles describing assessment and treatment efficacy data based on detailed case studies, single-subject research design, and group designs. Also encouraged are literature reviews that synthesize a body of information, highlight areas in need of further research, or reconsider previous information in a new light. Additionally, this journal welcomes papers describing theoretical frameworks and papers that address issues pertaining to SLP-ABA collaboration.

    JSLP-ABA is viewed as a primary source of information for speech-language pathology (SLP) professionals and professionals in applied behavior analysis (ABA) who support individuals of all ages with communicative disorders. The contents of this journal are intended to meet the interest of these professionals for information to support evidence-based practice. JSLP-ABA is also intended to serve as a vehicle to encourage collaboration between these SLP and ABA professionals.
