How many BCBAs and RBTs do you have on staff?

While your child will be assigned to 1 BCBA our team works collaboratively to provide a holistic approach to your child. While the number of Registered Behavior Technicians is changing frequently due to hiring of new staff, your child will be assigned at least 2 RBTs to promote generalization.
Are your BCBAs licensed through the BACB and through the state?
Yes! Our BCBAs must have their credential through the BACB. Along with that all of our BCBAs hold their license in Ohio and 3 hold another license in Kentucky.
What background checks are required of your staff?
Every person on staff, whether interacting with your child or not, is required to have both a state and federal background check completed each year.
What training do your therapists receive? How often?
Our RBTs receive a 40 hours training to earn their credential. They are also required to complete the following annually:
- HIPAA
- Active Shooter
- Cultural Competence
- Sexual Harassment
- Cyber security
- Psychological Disorders in Children
- Mandated Reporting
- Crisis intervention
Our staff also receives weekly terminology review and periodical training on new topics.
What are your areas of expertise?
SpectrumCare currently serves individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder, helping them with feeding, potty training, dressing, play skills, functional communication, social skills, attending, and decreasing challenging behaviors.
How much direct supervision do behavioral therapists receive from BCBAs weekly?
Our BCBA’s spend 2 hours each week with the RBT and your child. During this time they make changes to your child’s program and provide corrective feedback to the therapist.
What approaches do you use?
We believe in the Happy, Relaxed and Engaged approach. We believe that a child cannot learn if they are stressed and do not want to be with the therapist. This is why we will spend a lot of time building a rapport with your child before we ask them to do a task that is less preferred.
