Our Mission
Provide credentialing programs that preserve and promote a progressive approach to ABA as a treatment method for ASD.
These programs use a rigorous and defensible combination of assessment formats to recognize individuals who meet a high standard of practice.
What is Progressive ABA?
Progressive ABA is a philosophical approach in which interventionists, supervisors, and applied researchers employ a structured yet flexible approach to behavior change. All efforts are contingent upon and responsive to the individual’s progress. To do this, the Certified Progressive Behavior Analysts use the best available evidence in combination with advanced knowledge of basic principles and constant in-the-moment assessments to inform effective and caring intervention. This results in an approach that is grounded in science, socially-valid, and always progressing.
