BCA is a 1:1 intensive teaching environment that uses the principles and methodologies of Applied Behavior Analysis.  Although we are a full-time program, we are not an accredited school but a therapeutic medical center.  BCA is accredited through the Behavioral Health Center of Excellence; you can learn more through www.bhcoe.org.  Each learner is assigned a Behavior Analyst who is responsible for their individual programming and behavior plans regarding your child.  Each child is then assigned a Speech Pathologist whom they will see at a minimum of 3 half-hour sessions per week.  Speech Pathologists employed by BCA are dually credentialed as Register Behavior Technicians. Additional members of the treatment team will include Registered Behavior Technicians.
