I support the current regulations
As a mother of two children, and finishing up my ABA field experience, I fully support the regulation as it is currently written. The regulation protects an important public service for Virginia families with children diagnosed with autism. If there are changes in ABA services, it could negatively impact the lives of individuals and families who deal with Autism Spectrum Disorder daily. I have personally noticed clients thrive with ABA support. We need to do what's best for all individuals, even the ones that need specialized instruction.
