The Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) uses best practices and technologies within a community setting to assist youth with acquiring, retaining, improving and generalizing the behavioral, self-help, socialization, relational, and communication skills needed to enhance relationships, and increase independence and functioning. Targeted approaches will assist individuals in regulating emotional and behavioral responses, developing meaningful relationships, and effectively understanding and expressing their needs to the best of their ability, which will aid in the successful transition to less intensive community services.
