Re: [autismaba] certified therapist?

If the therapist is certified as a BCABA (Board Certified Associate Behavior

Analyst) or BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst), then s/he would be listed

in the Certificant Registry. To check this, visit www.bacb.com, click on the

Consumer Information of the homepage, then click the side bar with the title

Certificant Registry. You need only a zip code, last name, etc. to check

credentials. That being said, the credentials match where the individual sat

for the test, unless s/he has contacted the board to make such a change. Just

play around with entering the information you do have.

I am not familiar with the accreditations of speech, OT, PT, etc., but

hopefully, if that is what you are looking for, someone else will supply the

answer. That would be useful information for me as well!

therapists " credentials " ? We liven in a small town and several of us

use the same therapist (at $30/hour). However, lately the stories

There is nothing worse than someone taking advantage of autism

families!

Thanks for any suggestions!
