Questions worth asking before you enroll in Bellingham
Ask to see how the functional behavior assessment turns into what happens on day one. Ask for the treatment plan in writing and read it for goals you would actually recognize. The clinician who owns the case is normally a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). The Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) should be reachable by a parent, not only by staff. Ask how many hours a week a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) will be in the room. Some teams also place a Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst (BCaBA) between those two roles. Ask how many supervision hours the program includes each month and who provides them. For a younger child, ask whether the team runs an early intervention track and what the entry criteria are. These are questions to carry into a call, not claims about anyone listed here.
From first call to first session in Bellingham
Ask how long the current queue is and what the last three intakes waited. Ask what documentation is required so the file is complete on the first attempt. Ask how many hours a week the team can genuinely cover once a case opens. Ask who reopens the conversation if the program cannot staff what was recommended.
