Congratulations, Gina and thank you for all you have done worldwide and in N.Ireland over the years.
🌟 2026 WIBA Hall of Fame Inductee: Gina Green, PhD, BCBA-D
There are people who contribute to a field. And then there are people who help build it from the ground up — who fight for its standards, defend its science, and make sure it never loses sight of the people it exists to serve.
Dr. Gina Green is the latter.
Born in Montgomery, Alabama in 1951, she earned her PhD from Utah State University in 1986 and spent the decades that followed doing what very few people have the range, the rigor, and the sheer tenacity to do. She conducted landmark research on stimulus equivalence, autism intervention, and evidence-based practice. She was one of the earliest and most vocal critics of Facilitated Communication — at a time when that stance was controversial — and she was right. She testified before legislatures, fought for insurance coverage of ABA services, helped shape the Behavior Analyst Certification Board, founded the Association for Science in Autism Treatment, and served as CEO of the Association of Professional Behavior Analysts for over a decade.
Over 340 conference presentations. More than 170 keynote and invited addresses. Fellowships from ABAI, APA, and the Council for Scientific Medicine and Mental Health. A Don Hake Award. A Sidman Award. A Gerald L. Shook Advocacy Award. An honorary doctorate from The Queen's University of Belfast.
She is one of the most consequential women in the history of behavior analysis — a scientist, a mentor, an advocate, and an architect of modern ABA.
We are deeply honored to welcome Dr. Gina Green to the 2026 WIBA Hall of Fame. 🎉
