I support the regulations governing the practice of Behavior Analysis as they are currently written.
 

The provisions that have been in place appear to be working.  People diagnosed with autism and their families are able to obtain services from professionals who are well versed in behavioral principles.  By requiring that the practicing behavior analysts continue to meet the qualifications set forth by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board and the current state requirements, you are ensuring that those providing services are qualified to do so.  I support continuing to follow the current regulations.
