Behavior Frontiers Response
4yThanks for your input. Our clinicians make their recommendations based on the individual needs of each client, not on a pre-determined prescription. We always encourage our clinicians to review the literature surrounding treatment intensity since, as behavior analysts committed to the science, we want to ensure that our recommendations for service will truly make a significant and meaningful impact on our client’s outcomes. Our clinicians have goal- and progress-oriented discussions with parents and caregivers so as to educate them on the true value and impact a quality ABA program can have and speak to the intensity of treatment in relation to what their child will need. This is so that parents can make an informed decision as to the services their child will receive. Our ABA treatment varies from client to client, specifically to address their individual needs – some clients may need more structured Discrete Trial Teaching (DTT) while others may benefit from a more naturalistic approach (NaTS, NET), and some clients may benefit from a combination of both! We customize our programming to each client and include parent input on what is most critical or important to them. Moreover, our organization provides substantial resources to support our BCBAs ability to provide the recommended supervision hours for their clients. Specifically, Behavior Frontiers has a centralized scheduling department (so that BCBAs do not have to create client schedules), recruiters who screen, interview, and hire Behavior Technician staff (one less administrative task not on a BCBA’s plate), a training department to train BTs and Supervisors, as well as electronic data collection, to name but a few. Our goal continues to be to reduce administrative tasks for our BCBAs so that they can focus on what they love to do, which is to provide clinical care to our clients! We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.
