As a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and a Licensed Behavior Analyst in the Commonwealth of Virginia, I support the regulations governing the practice of Applied Behavior Analysis in Virginia as they are written.  The current regulations make it possible for behavior analysts to apply quality, specialized, and individualized Applied Behavior Analysis services to those who benefit from it in a timely and efficient manner. 

Behavior Analysts have rigorous requirements outlined by the Behavior Analysis Certification Board and this should remain the utmost requirement for Behavior Analysts providing services in Virginia.

Thank you for your consideration to maintain the current regulations governing the practice of Applied Behavior Analysis in Virginia.
