Testimonial

ABSI was with me every step of the way as I moved toward ABAT certification in Pennsylvania. When I first started with the company I didn’t know what a Behavior Technician or Applied Behavior Analysis was. However, they have helped guide me and supported me in so many ways that I feel like I don’t just have a job but a career path.”

Reflections of a behavior technician

“What I really appreciated about the training was that it really did feel like a classroom experience. It was a lot of one-to-one training which I really appreciated. At some other jobs, I definitely feel like they kind of throw you to the wolves. At Autism Behavior Services, Inc., I really felt like a lot of time and attention was given towards our training.”
