BCBAs and Regional Directors meet with clinical experts to systematically review children’s intervention plans and progress. This is in addition to team meetings and center review activities and is designed as a teaching and learning activity. Cases are reviewed in depth and the team considers case histories, video samples across settings, program data, and parent and child perspectives. In collaboration with the BCBAs, clinical experts make both child and system recommendations for improving the well-being of the individual child, as well as the system that supports their progress. Faculty from premier training programs provide the expertise and the meetings are conducted in the style of teaching hospitals in that all assessments and recommendations are explained in the context of behavioral principles and the evidence base.

BCBAs are invited to learn from thought leaders in the field of behavior analysis in a monthly meeting. Each opportunity provides 2 continuing education credits and an abundance of important information. A variety of topics are discussed, including Compassionate Care, Progressive ABA, Family Harmony, Value Based Interventions, Cultural Responsiveness etc. and are followed by small group discussions about how to translate the information into reality for the children served.

Behavioral Innovations is a lifesaver for our family’s journey with autism. From our first visit, we have felt like part of the family. While physically taxing, it warms my heart when my child refuses to leave because he loves the BI so much. And I appreciate all the team members support and dedication in providing my child and our family with the tools we need to thrive and handle difficult emotions.
