Support for current regulations
 

As a licensed Behavior Analyst in the state of Virginia, I strongly support the regulations governing the practice of Behavior Analysis as they are currently written.  Children with autism in this state have gained immense benefit as a direct result if the 2011 law regarding the provision of ABA services.  Additional benefit was provided by the 2012 law that led to the licensure of Behavior Analysts in the state of Virginia. 

Please continue to support those regulations so that children with autism in the state of Virginia can maintain access to ABA services.
