WHY BEHAVIORSPAN IS DIFFERENT
We know every ABA company claims to be different. Here is what actually sets us apart:
Small caseloads (up to 12 clients) so you can deliver the quality of care you were trained to provide
Our specialized clinical model graduates clients faster than the industry average
Restrain Free care — we do not use restraints or punishment
Democratic decision-making: every BCBA can submit Proposals for Change that drive real progress
Structured teamwork between the BCBA team and Clinical Director — you are never working in a silo
Leadership is local, in-person, and working alongside the team every day
Low BCBA and RBT turnover — staff retention is our top organizational priority
We stay ahead of the field: current workshops, assessments, and materials are standard practice, not an afterthought
Our Promise: we are upfront about every benefit listed here. No hidden requirements, no exaggerations.
