As a subject matter expert on telehealth guidelines for the Council for Autism Service Providers (CASP) she gives great insight into how practitioners can continue providing care during the COVID epidemic.
Applied Behavior Analysts (ABA) are therapists who help individuals improve, increase, and maintain behaviors needed for everyday life. They focus on a wide range of behaviors including communication, social skills, academics, and even hygiene to name a few.

This guide will break down the requirements, how you go about obtaining each one, and how often you have to go through re-certification.

Even with everything you have to do you still have to worry about whether or not employees are properly tracking the hours they need to complete their professional certifications.
