Behavior Analysis Services

 

As Board Certified Behavior Analyst and Certified Associate Behavior Analyst, it is their responsibility to design and develop an individualized behavior management plan for your child. They are also responsible for either implementing or ensuring that it is implemented in whatever environment is appropriate. The BCBA/CABA will teach parents, caregivers, siblings, and other family members the behavior plan to ensure that it is used properly wherever your recipient may go. It is also their job to monitor the plan and re-evaluate it often to make sure that your recipient continues to progress at a steady rate. They will write monthly progress notes that summarize this progress in addition to recording data and completing graphs to demonstrate the progress. If these graphs do not demonstrate the expected progress, it is the BCBA/CABA that will complete additional assessments, if necessary, and modify the program to ensure that progress begins again. If your recipient needs to complete a comprehensive assessment they also may conduct by a BCBA/CABA if your recipient has approved for this service.
