The use of ABA to treat individuals diagnosed with ASD began more than 60 years ago. During those years, a tremendous amount of technical and theoretical knowledge has been built. For someone to gain the minimum clinical skills necessary to be an effective interventionist takes months, not days or weeks.<\/p><ul><li><strong>Progressive ABA Therapists<\/strong>: Receive <strong>months of hands-on training<\/strong> under close supervision before being assigned to a case. This equips them with the skills to use clinical judgment to execute high quality ABA throughout a session. They can make individualized adjustments and decisions to maximize a child\u2019s learning.<\/li><li><strong>Conventional ABA Therapists<\/strong>: Commonly receive as little as <strong>5<\/strong> <strong>days of training<\/strong> before being certified as a therapist working with children.
