Can a BCaBA develop programming for persons with autism?

An associate behavior analyst (BCaBA) usually has completed fewer hours of undergraduate classroom instruction in behavior analysis and less supervised experience in implementing applied behavior analytic interventions. The Autism SIG strongly recommends that BCaBAs deliver behavior analytic intervention and assist with program design for persons with whom they are familiar ONLY with a BCBA adequately supervising them. If you decide to hire a BCaBA to provide for your child’s program, you should ask for the name and contact information of the BCBA supervisor and check with that BCBA periodically regarding your child’s case. Ask that BCBA detailed questions related to the amount and type of supervision they are providing the BCaBA. If the BCaBA currently doesn’t have a BCBA to regularly supervise his work and isn’t actively working towards getting a BCBA certification, then you may want to look elsewhere for someone to direct your child’s programming.
