Unfortunately, ABA-Verbal Behavior is being hyped by many poorly trained people. This poor practice endangers the technology. Most school districts are fed up with persons billing for services by setting up programs that can't be sustained leaving behind broken hearts and legal bills.

A few months ago, another parent challenged me by asking where I got off as being an "expert" on the subject of ABA-VB best practices. I advised him I observe first hand as a Behavior Analyst and School Principal, the product of poor services; regression of kids, families breaking up, no measurable outcomes year after year, no progress across months of work, districts being sued, no supervision, and no one served but the financial interests of those holding themselves out as "consultants". Beyond that, I noted that I've worked in the field of disabilities my whole life, am a parent (as was he) a licensed school principal, CEO of a New York Early Intervention and State Education Department approved preschool agency for special education children, and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). He conceded the point. 

This site is developed largely in response to the trend of some folk selling mass marketed seminars and promoting poorly supervised program development consultants. They are in large part very poor copies of the work Dr. Carbone has devoted a lifetime to. 

When you pay out your hard earned cash, Drill down; look into the long term (meaning 5 year+) history of the experts giving the seminars. What work were they doing when your child was born? If the answer is they were employed in an entirely unrelated field, then wonder about their motivation and more importantly about their SUPERVISED work experience.
