Job Description of a Behavior Analyst

Behavior analysts function as individual clinicians or are employed in organizations in numerous fields. These include education, behavioral medicine, mental health, disability, and children's services, business, and institutions of higher learning. Behavior analysts often supervise associates or other personnel in the implementation of intervention services, or consult to other personnel. Behavior analysts possess a wide range of knowledge about human behavior, and demonstrate competence in helping people meet personal goals. Typically, behavior analysts define intervention so that the changes to be achieved are measurable; analyze personal, social, and environmental conditions to better understand the variables that are influencing behavior; recommend and develop the goals of behavior change; implement agreed-upon solutions; and monitor progress. National certification in applied behavior analysis exists to standardize qualifications of anyone practicing as a behavior analyst.

Services

The Center for Behavior Analysis does not accept insurance and we do not guarantee that insurance will reimburse the client for these services.

The Center for Behavior Analysis offers the following services:

General Behavior Analytic Services

Behavior analytic services utilize the basic principles of behavior in order to promote socially significant changes in behavior. The Center for Behavior Analysis conducts initial assessments and observations in order to identify the causes of behavior, and these causes will then be used to create a comprehensive intervention tailored to the specific behaviors.

Behavioral Parent Training

Behavioral parent training has helped parents of children who have frequent temper tantrums, are not following directions well, talk back to adults, and are overactive and impulsive. In addition, behavioral parent training has helped many parents who feel overwhelmed by their child's behavior, want to learn more about parenting to prevent problems, have limited experience with children and/or feel their child is out of control.

Language-Based Therapies for Children with Autism

Research suggests language-based therapies such as the Verbal Behavior Approach and Discrete Trial Training have been effective in treating individuals with developmental disabilities, in particular, Autism Spectrum Disorders. These therapies include individualized 1:1 programming derived from skill assessments. Therapies focus on teaching communication, receptive language, appropriate play skills, social skills, and self-help skills.
