SCARCITY OF TRAINED PROFESSIONALS TO IMPLEMENT EVIDENCE-BASED INTERVENTION PROGRAMS FOR AUTISM
There are approximately 700,000 people with autism in the world, using a conservative rate of 1 in 100. Less than 10% of the world’s population with autism have access to a life-changing intervention known as Applied Behavioral Analysis. ABA is an evidenced-based intervention that has demonstrated with early and intensive application to generate success helping children with autism to mainstream. Furthermore, ABA can help over 90% of people on the autism spectrum achieve some level of independence. Currently, we are experiencing a shortage of Board Certified Behavioral Analysts (BCBAs), certified ABA experts, with only 29,000 worldwide (and most within the U.S.). As a result of the scarcity of ABA experts to treat and supervise intervention programs, ABA therapy is currently only accessible in a handful of countries and many in families are on a waitlist for services.
The universal challenge then is twofold: 1) ABA programs consume a significant amount of time and resources (about 35 hours per week. 2) Correspondingly, ABA is very expensive with costs ranging from $75,000 –- $125,000 annually. Even if a portion of ABA therapy is covered by insurance, the out-of-pocket costs are still substantial.
