What to Consider When Looking for a Qualified ABA Provider

Dr. Cathy Pratt at the Indiana Resource Center for Autism and others have published an article on choosing an ABA provider. Here is the first paragraph:

"Like many approaches to serving individuals with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an approach that focuses on helping people develop skills that are very difficult for them. ABA does this by looking at factors in a person’s world that undermine their success, and then carefully changing those factors to teach different and more appropriate ways of responding. There is a lot of research that shows ABA works - not just for people with ASD or with disabilities, but with all children, adolescents and adults.  In truth, while the goals may be different, ABA can be effective with any of us at any age."
