Clinical services
Hiring staff to work with families Butterfly Effects wants to ensure that we are sending the best clinicians to work with your child. We do this first during onboarding by completing comprehensive background checks. All clinicians are required to complete a comprehensive training upon hire regarding clinical standards, safety protocols, and BE procedures and are refreshed on these on an ongoing basis. Butterfly Effects BCBAs also attend a monthly Professional Speaker Series and monthly company-wide clinical case meetings so that they remain most up-to-date on how to best serve families. Additionally, all Butterfly Effects clinicians are required to adhere to the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) Code of Conduct and Butterfly Effects’ Employee Disciplinary Standards, ensuring the highest level of professional integrity and service quality.
How are staff trained?
How are technicians trained? • BE’s behavior technicians (BTs) receive a combination of 40 hours of web-based training and two live trainings with their mentor. • BT Training was developed by behavior analysts to meet the BACB RBT requirements. BTs are supported by company trainers, called Mentors. All training is supervised by BE’s Professional Development Department. • BTs graduate training by completing a comprehensive final exam on our online training platform as well as passing an in-person competency assessment. • All new behavior technicians receive an additional 6-hours of web-based training on Butterfly Effects Core training material, as well as ongoing direct oversight and training conducted by their supervising BCBA. How are BCBAs trained? Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) join Butterfly Effects with a minimum of a Master’s degree and successful completion of the national board (BCBA) exam. Beyond their initial qualifications and field experience, we recognize the importance of continuous learning and growth. As such, we dedicate ourselves to ongoing education! A BCBA’s initial weeks at BE encompass both asynchronous and synchronous online training, in person hands on training, and ongoing training each week as they meet with their direct supervisors, who are also BCBAs. In addition, BCBAs also participate in monthly meetings to provide regular and ongoing opportunities for guidance and learning.
