Hi everyone

Due to holidays we are leaving our survey up for a few more days please take a few moments if you haven't already to complete it and help us plan:

The ABA Support Network is planning a one day workshop to take place this fall in the lower mainland. This workshop will be open to all parents and professionals and the goal will be to educate attendees on the current state of ABA in BC schools and how to move forward with implementing ABA programs, district by district.

This is NOT a registration page – we need to know how many people would attend this workshop so that we can confirm a location.

Please fill out the following questionnaire which will assist us in planning this event.

Hi everyone! Just want to follow up on my post below and share the information I got.

Thanks to those that responded. Here is a summary of the comments:

• 3 parents responded that when they switched consultants the new consultant observed the current programming before making decisions about its’ effectiveness and then making changes as needed. 1 parent commented this observation was used as a baseline for the new consultant to work from.

• 2 parents responded that they kept all programming when they switched and agreed to keep it confidential (not share it with other families).

• 3 parents responded “it depends” on why you are switching consultants. If you are switching because behaviors are up and learning is down then it might be beneficial to start from scratch but a new consultant would still need to evaluate where your child is at.

• 2 parents responded that all your childs’ data belongs to you.

• My view is that you have paid to have the programming written and it is supposed to be tailored to your childs’ needs so a request to “give it back” or don't use it doesn’t seem reasonable. It does make sense that a new consultant would do some kind of observation and make changes and re-vamp things as they use various data collection and reporting methods.

A unanimous response was it is all about the QUALITY of your consultant!

I am looking for feedback on the following question(s) and it would be interesting to have both parents and professionals post their responses to this:

When there is a transition to a new behavior consultant for a an existing home based ABA program what happens with all the current programs and materials? Is the family back to square 1 and has to have all the programs rewritten?

Does anyone know of any published guidelines concerning this?

Thank you!
