CoAHS has launched new Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Tutor and Qualified Autism Services Para-Professional certification.

The ABA Tutor and the Qualified Autism Services Para-Professional programs are the first of four tiered programs designed to meet the need generated by the passing of the Autism Insurance Bill (SB 946) in California and similar legislation in some 30 other States. This new legislation has left many service providers and practitioners having to find solutions for developing their workforce so that access to funding for services is not interrupted.

The ABA Tutor program is a 20 hour (1.5 semester units) introductory course that will prepare ABA Tutors (direct support para-professionals) with a strong foundation in the basic concepts and principles of applied behavior analysis within the context of Autism treatment.  This course is intended for workforce development to address an immediate broad service need. 

The ABA Tutor program also provides the foundation for the next steps in advanced education and training in ABA and Autism. The remaining two tiers of program are the Qualified Autism Services Professional (QASP) and the full five course series that comprise the Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) qualification. Uniquely, each program, beginning with the ABA Tutor, forms the first part of the next tier of program providing people and providers with a comprehensive range of options meeting the need at all levels.
