DISCLAIMER: CT FEAT reserves the right to edit or reject any proposed listings. CT FEAT does not recommend or endorse any of the employers or employees listed here. Neither can we verify the accuracy of the information they provide. Due to the tremendous demand for ABA services, many individuals make unwarranted claims of expertise in this field. Parents need to educate themselves regarding the minimal qualifications that an ABA provider should have. For more information on these qualifications, see the guidelines published by the Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies. For a state by state listing of those who have met these minimal qualifications, check the "certificant registry" maintained by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board.

Although a formal credential in behavior analysis is evidence that a professional has met minimum competency standards, it does not guarantee that the individual has specific expertise in autism, nor that s/he can produce optimal treatment outcomes. Even those who do have autism training may be lacking the clinical depth and experience to provide appropriate treatment to a given age group, level of impairment, etc. Also keep in mind that the credentialing of professional behavior analysts has only been in place on an international level since 2000. So there may be some competent service providers who are still in the process of applying for BACB certification.

Note: The following list is chronological, with postings listed in the order in which they were first received.  Any subsequent revisions to an original posting will not affect its chronological placement.  These listings are not automated and must be screened and then posted by the CT FEAT volunteers who maintain this site. Hence, it may take as little as one week, or as long as two months, for a proposed listing to be processed and posted.
