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.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about the amazing team at Behavioral Innovations. From day one, everyone has been so patient, caring, and truly dedicated to helping my daughter grow. Since starting here, we’ve seen such beautiful progress in her communication skills. She’s expressing herself more, using her words more confidently, and engaging with us in ways we only hoped for before.

Since starting at Behavioral Innovations my son communicates so much better with us, and social gatherings don’t bother him anymore. He’s also potty training, and honestly, it was worth bringing him here. The staff is super friendly and helpful & my son loves it. It’s a really friendly and safe place for parents to consider for aba therapy. I am pleased with all the efforts they make and the extra steps they take to assist parents like us.
