Who Is On Our Treatment Team?

Who will work with my child?

  • Registered Behavior Technician (RBT):

    Your child receives direct 1:1 care from a trained RBT during every scheduled session. RBTs implement the personalized treatment plan, practice functional communication, and teach life skills through natural, play-based activities at home, in the classroom, or out in the community.

  • Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA / BCaBA):

    Clinical oversight is provided by a BCBA or BCaBA who designs your child's care plan, evaluates ongoing progress data, and supervises the RBT through in-person and telehealth sessions. They also conduct regular parent training to ensure strategies stay consistent and effective across all daily environments.

Ensuring Consistency & Smooth Transitions

  • Priority Matching: We aim to keep your child paired with the same 1:1 Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) to build strong rapport and therapeutic momentum.

  • Thoughtful Transitions: If scheduling or staffing changes arise, we conduct overlapping transition sessions so your child can comfortably build trust with their new therapist.

  • Continuous Clinical Guidance: Your BCBA or BCaBA oversees your child’s care from start to finish, providing consistent leadership, data tracking, and parent support regardless of staffing updates.

How much contact will I have with our Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA)?

You will work closely with your BCBA throughout your entire journey! Your BCBA conducts the initial multi-hour assessment, supervises 10–20% of direct 1:1 therapy sessions (via in-person visits and telehealth), and leads regular parent coaching sessions. Every six months, they perform formal progress evaluations to update goals. Between scheduled meetings, your BCBA is easily accessible by phone and email to answer questions and keep communication seamless.

Partnering for Your Child’s Success

  • You don’t need to become an ABA expert to make a huge difference—your love, presence, and everyday insights are the most powerful tools in your child’s therapy. We view parents as equal partners in care, and we work around your family’s real-world routine so therapy feels supportive, not overwhelming.

  • What Parent Involvement Looks Like

    During Sessions: During in-home sessions, a parent or legal guardian remains on the premises. We simply ask that you stay available for brief check-ins, provide access to preferred toys or snacks, and share any updates about your child’s week.

    Between Sessions: Practice simple, natural strategies recommended by your BCBA, track quick updates when requested, and participate in regular caregiver coaching.

    Everyday Collaboration: Attend routine progress meetings, stay in touch with our team, ask questions whenever you need clarity, and advocate for what matters most to your family.

  • Empowering You With Real World Strategies

    Parent training is a cornerstone of effective ABA. Your BCBA won't just give you advice—they will demonstrate techniques, coach you in real time, and help you apply positive reinforcement during daily routines like mealtimes, bedtime, and trips out in the community.

  • Options for Working Parents & Busy Families

    We work with many dual-income and single-parent households. If you work full-time, we offer flexible scheduling options to make care accessible:

    • After-school, evening, or weekend session availability

    • Virtual telehealth parent training and video reviews

    • Flexible phone and email check-ins

    • Training for extended family members, nannies, or trusted caregivers

Skill Building & Progress Tracking

What You Will Experience at Home, School & in the Community

  • Real-Life Milestones: You’ll notice new skills blooming—like clearer communication, easier transitions between activities, smoother daily routines, and a noticeable drop in frustrating behaviors.

  • Transparent Progress Tracking: Your BCBA shares clear data graphs and monthly progress reports so you can visually see skill growth over time.

  • Formal 6-Month Reassessments: Every six months, we conduct a comprehensive evaluation to review achievements, update treatment goals, and adjust therapy hours as your child gains independence.

What Timeline to Expect

Every child learns at their own unique pace. Many families notice positive shifts within the first few weeks, while significant skill growth typically becomes clear within 2 to 3 months. By 6 months, you can expect to see measurable, meaningful progress across your child’s daily routines.

How will I know if ABA is helping?

Every treatment plan is as unique as the child it’s made for. Rather than using generic templates, your BCBA collaborates directly with your family to identify priorities that will make the biggest positive impact on your daily life across home, school, and community environments.

Common Target Areas Include:

  • Communication Skills: Learning to express needs and wants, label items, follow everyday directions, and engage in meaningful conversations.

  • Social & Emotional Growth: Playing alongside peers, sharing, turn-taking, recognizing emotions, and building genuine friendships.

  • Daily Living & Independence: Mastering self-care routines like dressing, toilet training, tooth brushing, mealtimes, and personal hygiene.

  • Behavioral Support & Self-Regulation: Replacing tantrums or aggression with healthy coping strategies, emotional regulation tools, and functional communication.

Together with your BCBA, you will select and prioritize the goals that bring the most joy, ease, and independence to your child’s world.

Learning isn't always a straight line, and it is completely normal for progress to pace differently at times. If growth slows down, we don't wait and see—our team takes proactive, collaborative action.

Your BCBA will closely analyze session data and partner with your family to understand what might be getting in the way. Together, we can adapt the treatment plan by:

  • Refining Teaching Strategies: Modifying how skills are taught or adjusting positive reinforcement ($S^R+$) techniques to boost motivation.

  • Updating & Individualizing Goals: Breaking complex skills down into smaller, more achievable milestones.

  • Optimizing Environment & Schedule: Adjusting session times or shifting focus across home, school, or community settings to better match your child's natural energy.

  • Increasing Supervision Support: Providing additional BCBA oversight to coach therapists and refine implementation in real time.
