Increased skill acquisition, reduction in maladaptive behavior, and significant clinical outcomes are all characteristics of a successful behavior analytic program
A BCBA must be able to determine what type of experimental design for each intervention that is implemented.
When a behavior analyst is evaluated the effectiveness of treatment they must consider long-term and short-term benefits that the client is going to have not only for themselves but how the benefit will impact the community.
