What to Look for in an ABA Provider

When choosing an ABA provider, look for a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who supervises the therapy and designs a personalized plan. The provider should conduct a thorough assessment and set meaningful, measurable goals. Also check that they use behavioral data to track progress and adapt methods as needed. A good provider will involve your family in training so strategies can be used at home.
