Transition Planning: At yearly
goal reviews, transition plans are discussed with the degree of delay
as a main point of consideration. Transition plans involve fading out
1:1 ABA services and promoting independent functioning across
environments. A successful transition is ensured by recording data
across environments before, during and after the point of transition to
ensure that no regression has occurred. It is the responsibility of the
individuals in the post transition environment to continue to collect
data for an agreed upon period of time as designated in the child’s IEP
after 1:1 ABA support has been faded. According to the BACB Conduct
guidelines, a behavior analyst has a responsibility to operate in the
best interest of clients and does not abandon clients. If the child
demonstrates regression, MRC will provide training and support to the
provider based on parent and provider consent in the targeted
environment and repeat the transition process. Prior to termination
(transition) for whatever reason, except where precluded by the
client's conduct, the behavior analyst discusses the client's views and
needs, provides appropriate pre-termination services, suggests
alternative service providers as appropriate, and takes other
reasonable steps to facilitate transfer of responsibility to another
provider if the client needs one immediately (BACB Conduct Guidelines).
Final reports are provided for all children leaving the program and are
