In support of current ABA regulations
 

As a parent of a teen on the autism spectrum, I strongly support upholding the current regulations governing the practice of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) in Virginia.  The current regulations are important to maintain high quality, effective services to people and families living with autism. Since ABA is effective, it doesn't make sense to change the current professional standards outlined by the Behavior Analysis Certification Board.
