The Advantages of Choosing a BCBA-Owned ABA Agency for Your Family
Selecting the right agency to support your family’s needs for applied behavior analysis (ABA) is crucial. With unlimited options available, finding the ideal fit can be challenging! One factor that we believe significantly influences the quality of care received is opting for a BCBA-owned and operated company.
Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) are professionals with extensive training and expertise in behavior analysis. Their education and experience uniquely position them to understand the intricacies of behavior and design effective interventions tailored to individual needs. Yes, we are biased (our co-owners are both BCBAs with over 40 years of combined experience!), but here’s why we feel strongly about families considering a BCBA-owned ABA agency:
Expertise and Experience
From the very top down, BCBA-owned agencies are led by individuals who have dedicated years to developing their skills and competence in the science of behavior analysis. Their deep understanding of behavioral principles enables them to create comprehensive treatment plans and systems that effectively address a wide range of challenges.
Continuity of Care
With a BCBA at the helm, families can expect consistency and continuity in their therapy journey. The owner’s direct involvement ensures a cohesive approach to treatment, minimizing disruption and maximizing progress.
Flexible Solutions
BCBA owners often possess experience in diverse settings and populations. This breadth of experience equips them to develop flexible and adaptable strategies that can effectively address a wide range of challenges faced by individuals with developmental differences.
Community Connections
BCBA-owned agencies are deeply ingrained in their local communities, fostering strong connections with schools, healthcare providers, and related service providers. These connections facilitate seamless collaboration and resource-sharing, enriching the overall support network available to families.
Commitment to Ethics and Professional Growth
BCBA owners have likely navigated the evolving landscape of ABA therapy, experiencing both positive advancements and challenges within their field. They also adhere to a strict code of ethics, ensuring that every aspect of therapy is conducted with integrity, professionalism, and the utmost respect for the individuals they serve. Their firsthand experience and commitment to ethics equip them to implement best practices while adapting to changes and innovations. Additionally, their commitment to professional growth ensures that staff stay abreast of the latest research and methodologies.
Advocacy and Innovation
BCBA-owned agencies often serve as advocates for positive change within the ABA community. With their experience, they are well-positioned to identify areas in need of improvement and advocate for ethical standards, diversity, inclusion, and client-centered practices.
Various factors go into selecting an ABA agency that works for your family. We believe that BCBA-owned and operated practices offer advantages that can profoundly impact your family’s therapy experience. By selecting a BCBA-owned company, like Ovation, families can trust in a comprehensive support system that prioritizes their child’s well-being, with a commitment to quality and ongoing improvement.
