Perspectives of Autistic People, Caregivers & Clinicians on ABA Services

Alongside the rapid expansion of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) agencies across the United States have been growing calls to understand and improve ABA service quality. However, there is still much to learn about what constitutes quality ABA care and the many factors that shape how ABA services are delivered. In understanding these questions, it is critical to hear the perspectives of autistic people, caregivers of autistic children, and clinicians. This presentation will showcase lessons learned from an ongoing project focused on understanding and improving ABA care quality using an implementation science lens. Please note: this is a hybrid event, taking place online and in-person at Marcus Autism Center. This registration is for in-person access. Space at Marcus is limited.
