Glossary of Acronyms

TERM DESCRIPTION

ABA ABA stands for Applied Behavioral Analysis. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) methodology involves the application of basic behavioral practices (positive reinforcement, repetition, prompting, etc.) to facilitate the development of language, positive skills, and social behavior as well as to help reduce everyday social problems and serious behavior disorders.

BACB BACB stands for the Behavior Analysis Certification Board. BACB is an independent, nonprofit certification board started to establish standards for what constitutes being qualified to practice Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) in addition to setting ethical and legal codes to which all BCBAs are bound. Begun in the early 1990s, this credential has quickly swept international boundaries and is now becoming the standard by which insurance companies determine eligibility for payment as an ABA service provider.

BCBA BCBA stands for Board Certified Behavior Analyst. The BCBA is a graduate-level certification in the field of behavior analysis. Professionals who are certified at the BCBA level are independent practitioners who provide behavior-analytic services. In addition, BCBAs supervise the work of Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analysts (BCaBAs), Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs), and others who implement behavior-analytic interventions.

BCaBA BCaBA stands for Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst. The BCaBA is an undergraduate-level certification in behavior analysis. Professionals who are certified at the BCaBA level may not practice independently, but must be supervised by someone certified at the BCBA/BCBA-D level. In addition, BCaBAs can supervise the work of Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs), and others who implement behavior-analytic interventions.

RBT RBT stands for Registered Behavior Technician. The RBT is a paraprofessional who practices under the close, ongoing supervision of a BCBA or BCaBA. The RBT is primarily responsible for the direct implementation of behavior-analytic services. The RBT does not design intervention or assessment plans. It is the responsibility of the RBT supervisor to determine which tasks an RBT may perform as a function of his or her training, experience, and competence. The BCBA supervising the RBT is responsible for the work performed by the RBT on the cases they are overseeing.

BSC BSC stands for Behavior Specialist Consultant. The BSC is a lead clinician in provision of Behavioral Health Rehabilitation Services (BHRS)/Wraparound, including initiating entry of the child or adolescent into services, and introduction of involved staff to the family.

The BSC is a master’s level position with certification in a human services field such as Psychology, Social Work, Counseling, etc… Please note, not all BSCs are BCBAs, but a BCBAs can be a BSC.

It is a position used within the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. A TSS meets with a child in a one-on-one situation, with family, in public or at school to provide therapy.
