What is the difference between the services provided by Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) workshop programs and clinic programs?
In an ABA workshop program, the parents recruit and hire aides (also called tutors or therapists) and a senior aide. The agency provides a qualified ABA professional to design the childs individualized program, and train and supervise the aides on a consultation basis. In an ABA clinic program (also called center-based program), all services are provided by the agency, including the professional consultant, aides and senior aide. For both types of programs, parents are required to secure funding for the services, either through their school district, regional center, or other sources.
For ABA Workshop (in-home) Programs, the parents recruit tutors and a senior therapist. A professional ABA consultant guides the program through consultations with the parents, senior therapist and tutors. Under ABA Clinic (in-home) Programs, all services are provided by the professional ABA consulting organization, including the professional consultant, tutors, and senior therapist. For both types of programs, parents are required to secure funding for the services, either from CVRC, school districts, or other sources.
