ABA Positive Support Services is at HABA's 14th annual conference

Haden is one of those kids that needs to move.

Please come on down to the state building on Wednesday and/or send in written testimony.

"TRICARE has also removed the TRICARE-specific requirements for the supervision of paraprofessional ABA providers by ABA supervisors. Supervision will no longer... be a separate reimbursable service. However, paraprofessionals still will be supervised. Simmer said TRICARE will rely on the certifying and licensing bodies for behavior analysts, which require supervision as a core requirement for certification." See more

Testimony submitted February 4, 2018 State Capitol... 415 South Beretania Street. Re: Oppose SB739 Dear Member of the Committee, Thank you for the opportunity to testify. I am Catherine Wilson, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and a Hawaii State Licensed Behavior Analyst. I am also in my last year of a clinical psychology doctorate degree. I own and operate a local behavior company, ABA Positive Support Services. I am in OPPOSTION to SB739. This bill will greatly compromise the quality of ABA services provided throughout the state of Hawaii. There is only reason the state would be interested in pursuing an alternative track for credentialing one to one providers of applied behavior analysis. That reason is to avoid the time and effort it would take to assure that individuals are receiving quality services. The current legislation requires the Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) credential for one to one providers of ABA. This credential is overseen by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB). The BACB has an established system to credential people, which includes training, continued supervision and a code of ethics. There is no reason to move away from what is already working. If a potential staff is willing to go through an alternative autism specific credential they should be significantly more enthusiastic to go through a process which is nationally recognized. Any alternate credential would produce a watered down version of the real thing. I believe our children deserve better than that. Licensed psychologists are not behavior analyst. As a clinical psychology student, I believe I have a clear understanding of the two professions. The education, training and implementation are different. They are not interchangeable. Only Board Certified Behavior Analyst should supervise the one to one providers. Please feel free to contact me directly with questions or comments. I am available. Thank you Catherine Wilson, M.Ed., BCBA, LBA, LMHC
