I am a holder of Qualified Behavior Analysis Credential, practicing the Science of Applied Behavior Analysis in the State of New Jersey write to support having the QBA/ QASP-S/ABA-Tech recognized parallel to the BCBA/ BCaBA/RBT and therefore should either 

[i] be included in the licensing law like BACB or

[ii] amendment be made to the language for licensing in the state of Virginia to remove the BACB language and include the following: "nationally accredited certifying body" so QBAs would be included. 

The QABA Task lists are comparable with that of BACB, Practicum supervision experience hours requirements are equivalent to that of BACB. Also, the Task Lists include additional requirements and emphasis on Autism. Above all, QABA credentialing LIKE THAT OF BACB is approved by ANSI.

Please do not hesitate to reach me should you have any questions. Email: Home-linkinc@itc-aba

Yours sincerely,

Dr. Usifo Edward Asikhia, QBA.
