Kyos ABA Optimized program is designed to deliver the most effective efficient care possible to our patients. The model is based on the premise that more hours does not always equal more progress and that there are other important clinical levers that can yield greater clinical outcomes to a patient than simply more direct therapy. BCBAs in the ABA Optimized program will spend more time with patients than BCBAs in Kyos standard treatment model. Therapy hours are tailored to the needs of each individual patient and are optimized around increased supervision parent training and coordination of care with direct therapy playing an important role but with fewer hours than conventional ABA therapy programs.
The ideal BCBA working within the ABA Optimized program will have a demonstrated history of strong interpersonal skills and topnotch clinical skills. With client progress and satisfaction in mind BCBAs will have the flexibility to make individualized treatment recommendations inclusive of dosage and ratio of Supervision Caregiver Collaboration and Direct Treatment. In lieu of a traditional monthly allocation BCBA success will be assessed via client progress and satisfaction.
