Course Description: ABA business owners are often practitioners themselves that decide to venture out on their own after working in the field. And sometimes, ABA business owners are not practitioners at all and have no clinical background but come from business or corporations in the private equity space that are looking to invest in ABA companies. This course is designed for either the clinician or non-clinician to learn how to develop an ABA company that is rooted in strong clinical service to the clients that they are aiming to attract. This 10-week series gives the ABA business owner a roadmap to creating a strong clinical department for their practice that embodies the highest professional standard of patient care while adhering to culturally relevant and ethical practices.
