What if my insurance changes?
Your BCBA is the clinical mastermind — they design your child’s program, assess what’s working, and make adjustments as needed. They’re also your advocate when it comes to insurance and school partnerships. Your RBT is your child’s daily champion, putting the BCBA’s strategies into action and practicing skills during every session. Think of it this way: your BCBA crafts the plan, and your RBT follows the plan and builds the skills. Both maintain open communication with you — so you’re always informed.
