Our clinical director is responsible for recruiting new staff and providing ongoing leadership development trainings for BCBAs and therapists. The clinical director spends a majority of their time completing performance evaluations, assisting in the execution, auditing, and on-going continuous review of clinical documentation to ensure program outcomes. Our clinical director meets with new families to give tours of our facility, completes child intake assessment, and assists BCBAs in parent trainings.

The BCBAs responsibilities include conducting intake assessments, functional behavior assessments (FBA), creating individualized treatment goals, and training therapists to implement your child’s specific programs. Our BCBAs spend a majority of their time supervising ABA therapists’ implementation of programs and behavior modification protocols to ensure high quality treatment is maintained. During the supervision process, BCBAs are analyzing data to measure progress and making goal revisions accordingly to keep your child’s program moving forward. BCBAs are responsible for bringing all of this information to bi-weekly parent meetings and assisting parents in using ABA techniques at home.

The therapists work directly with your child while at HBC. They implement behavior modification protocols, skill acquisition programs, record your child’s responses, and provide feedback to the BCBAs on your child’s clinical team. In addition to teaching new skills, behavior therapists continue to practice previously acquired skills to ensure sustainability. Therapists receive ongoing training to provide the highest quality autism services to your child.
