Re:BCBA vs. seasoned autism specialist

[Guest guest]

There is a document by the Autism Special Interest Group.

http://behavior.org/autism/ Look for the link The Autism SIG of

<http://behavior.org/autism/autism_consumers_guide.cfm> ABA's Guidelines

for Consumers

It recommends levels of certain experience etc for providers of ABA

programs.

Good luck!

I don't. However, the issue is " Which of your available providers

is going to do the best job? " BCBA doesn't guarantee any

knowledge of autism or how to adapt/apply ABA knowledge to your

particular problem. Neither does being a person knowledgeable in

autism with some DTT background. Why not read Schramm's

new book, Educate Toward Recovery, and then check out their

knowledge against that?

P.S. For Casey, I have attached a brief paper on supervising ABA

programs for children with autism. I have tried to make it general

rather than specific to any particular region, but I may have missed a

few specific items which might better have been deleted.

Does anyone know of research that a VB program should only be ran by a

BCBA versus a person knowledgable in autism with some DTT background?
