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.

My son has been attending this facility for a little over two years. I am generally hesitant to leave him anywhere because he is nonverbal, but when I drop him off here, I know he is in good hands. The entire team is consistently friendly, patient, and supportive. The staff is exceptional, and the center administrator is especially professional, understanding, and attentive to my son’s needs. I am truly pleased with the progress my child has made. I highly recommend Behavioral Innovations not only because of the positive developmental progress, but also because I have peace of mind while I’m at work, knowing my child is being well cared for. As a parent of an autistic child, that peace of mind is invaluable.

Overall, the facility and staff are really great. My child is coming from a school environment and  I could definitely see the difference in how they focus on the behavioral needs, often modifying there teaching plans as my child was learning. They even help the parents learn strategies to help navigate this experience. They really went above and beyond!
