ABA PROVIDER DIRECTORY WELCOME

Dear Pennsylvania, It has been well-established ABA is the cornerstone of treatment for individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities. In fact, ABA is not only used to help teach any number of important skills (communication skills, social skills, self-help skills, etc.), but it is also used to address a variety of behavioral challenges. The overall goal of ABA is to help individuals become more independent which, we hope, will lead to happier and more satisfying lives. My advocacy organization, ABA in PA Initiative, is dedicated to public education and was started to help families like yours obtain ABA therapy. In addition to the ABA Provider Directory, from the website, abainpa.com, you can follow us for information sent out regularly via our Facebook and Twitter links. Children can obtain ABA from either private agencies or public agencies (often referred to as BHRS or Wraparound; soon to be called IBHS). Please note a growing number of private agencies are now accepting Medical Assistance (MA) as a means of payment so be sure to closely monitor our provider directory for updates. We usually update this directory every 2-3 months so please check back often! We know for ABA to be implemented properly trained clinicians with appropriate education, supervision, and credentialing are needed. These clinicians are referred to as Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analysts (BCaBAs), and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs). Within the private sector a high standard has been set when it comes to programming and staff requirements. In fact, all of the private agencies listed in the provider directory specifically focus on ABA and exclusively employ BCBAs, BCaBAs and RBTs. Within the public (BHRS/Wraparound) sector there are agencies which have established similar standards, however, as a consumer you will need to proceed with a bit more caution. Let us explain. Within the BHRS system ABA is delivered by individuals with the following job titles: Behavior Specialist Consultant (BSC) and Therapeutic Staff Support (TSS). Unfortunately, neither of these job titles mandate education or experience with ABA. Some BSCs and TSSs have the appropriate ABA credentialing while others do not. Since one of our goals is to ensure your child receives high-quality ABA, we strongly recommended for parents in the BHRS/Wraparound system to look for the additional qualifications of BCBA/BCaBA for the BSC position and RBT for the TSS position.


If you are having trouble securing ABA, here are suggestions on how to complain: 1) Contact your insurance and tell them you have not been able to find an ABA provider (behavior analyst or BCBA) and that you need their help. See what they recommend. Ask if you can go out-of-network to get your child services faster if in-network options are not available. 2) At the same time, contact the government by email at [email protected] and copy Rachel Mann at [email protected] at the Disability Rights PA and tell them what is going on, so they can follow your case to make sure your child gets the services he or she needs. All too often families think they are getting what they need or think ABA "doesn't work" because they had one or two experiences in the past with providers that didn't understand the differences between what they provided, what ABA was, and how it could help. Thank you for taking the time to review our directory! Cheryl Tierney-Aves, MD, MPH Section Chief, Behavior and Developmental Pediatrics ABA in PA Initiative President

BACB BACB stands for the Behavior Analysis Certification Board. BACB is an independent, nonprofit certification board started to establish standards for what constitutes being qualified to practice Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) in addition to setting ethical and legal codes to which all BCBAs are bound.
