TUT’s Professional Development Academy continues to expand and improve delivery of services. The latest developments in training and professional development will ensure our staff provides the highest quality services, translating into the greatest outcomes for our clients.

TUT has partnered with Relias – an organization dedicated to training ABA professionals to improve performance and quality outcomes for the clients they serve. Relias will provide TUT with a robust learning management system within which all clinical staff can enroll themselves and access video-based educational modules (on demand) in ABA and related disciplines.  TUT Technician Training was recently rolled out as a targeted training program for Behavior Technicians. Acknowledging the importance of highly skilled Behavior Technicians, TUT Technician Training provides the content and structure for a BCBA to efficiently train a Behavior Technician to meet BACB® established performance standards. Moreover, it affords a BCBA the flexibility to pivot the focus of training to suit the nuanced needs of their client – allowing for more strategic and targeted training.

TUT rolls out weekly collaboration groups to ensure best practices.

In another effort to ensure our clinical staff is delivering the highest quality ABA therapy,  TUT’s Clinical division has implemented weekly Collaboration Groups for BCBAs.  These groups provide opportunities to discuss ABA topics, seek support on cases, discuss TUT Best Practices, provide support to others, obtain resources on topics, and be a part of a community of BCBAs who might otherwise not have opportunities to collaborate.  These weekly Collaboration Groups were designed to:

• Provide continuous clinical development opportunities for TUT BCBAs
• Provide opportunities to reorient perspectives on child progress across Milestones, Barriers, and Transitions
• Allow BCBAs to take initiative to join collaboration groups if children’s scores begin to plateau and/or diverge
• Provide opportunities for BCBAs, Senior BCBAs and Clinical Directors to come together and meet

These weekly sessions will certainly have a positive impact on TUT clinical staff, and most importantly, on the children we serve.
