Association for Behavior Analysis International

The presentation addresses how to create an ethical ABA provider culture given the rapid expansion to the ABA-based business. Over the last seven years, ABA providers have been challenged by wage inflation, fierce talent acquisition competition, stagnant reimbursement rates, and stringent regulatory payer requirements. Despite these challenges, the ABA profession continues to be one of the fastest growing sectors of the healthcare industry. Numerous ABA companies have entered the ASD treatment space funded through an infusion of capital by various types of investors. The panel features BCBA-Ds with significant experience operating large-scale ABA-based businesses. The panelists will discuss the applied strategies to create an ethical work culture and build a positive work community with measurable outcomes. These applied strategies will address billing fraud, scope of practice, BCBA retention, training practices, and clinical integrity. The panelist will also address many of the challenges associated with operating large-scale ABA-based businesses given this period of dynamic growth.

The target are BCBAs working within mid to large size companies
