ABA Services Offered
After the Comprehensive Behavioral and Skills Assessment (in-depth assessments to understand individual needs). and the report are completed, we create a program along with its corresponding digital binder. The program outlines how the intervention will be delivered and falls into one of the following models:
- Sole Model: In this model, only a BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) will work directly with the participant across the appropriate settings.
- Tiered Model: In the tiered model, a BCBA customizes, creates, and supervises the programs that are delivered in each session by an assigned RBT (Registered Behavior Technician). Data, progress, and barriers to progress are continuously reviewed to make necessary program adjustments. The assigned BCBA collaborates with all team members to ensure the most effective programs and methodologies are being used.
- Combination Model: In this model, both the BCBA and RBT provide direct services to the participant, working together to implement the intervention plan
