Connecticut ABA Therapists and
Consultants
If you provide ABA-related services to Connecticut families and want to have your
listing added, updated or removed from our Bulletin-Board, please send
the following information to
ctfeat2@ctfeat.org:
1) Your name, address (both ground and email) and phone. Preferred
contact is by email. Please indicate whether you want your phone number
posted on our website. Also, note that we will post only your town and
not your full street address.
2) A short summary of your professional background and experience. Do
not send resumes or lengthy descriptions of your job history.
Do, however, be as detailed as possible regarding your geographical
constraints, preferences as to age groups, etc. If you are updating an
existing listing, please indicate the approximate date of your existing
listing and the specific nature of your new information - e.g., new
phone number, email address, etc.
DISCLAIMER: CT FEAT reserves
the right to edit or reject any proposed listing. 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: Employment ads are listed in the order in which
they were first received. Subsequent revisions to an ad 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 listing to be posted or removed. |

about 12 years as part of a team offering speech, occupational therapy
and physical therapy. I have a degree in child development, I am CPR and
first aid certified and fluent in Spanish. I will be starting a graduate
program in ABA. I would serve the Litchfield county area and might be
willing to travel the surrounding areas. I could work with
children/child as part of a team, at home offering supplemental services
and/or willing to go to student's school to modify instruction for young
children. I have a special talent for eliciting receptive and expressive
language in young children with autism and other disabilities. I am
familiar and have knowledge of ABA and PECS and have vast experience in
classroom integration. My hourly rate starts at $20 and hour but I am
willing to negotiate. If after a few hours of service you think I am not

services. If you need more information, resume and references, please
contact me. My references will reflect my experience and ability in

I have about 3 years experience with ABA therapy. This was mainly
working as part of a team with one child. This child had such a
successful outcome it was very rewarding and an experience that changed
my life. It has, however been a few years since this time. I thoroughly
enjoyed this work and am looking to possibly become part of a team,
refresh my skills, and am also available for respite work. I felt that I
truly had a connection for this work and life deterred me elsewhere.
