What to look for in an ABA provider
A qualified ABA provider should have Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) overseeing treatment plans, and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) delivering direct therapy. Look for providers who conduct thorough assessments, set measurable goals, and involve families in the process.
It is also important to ask about experience with your child's specific needs, communication style, and age group.
