Episode 23: When Your Provider is Changing

BCBA transitions can feel unsettling, but they're a normal part of ABA services and don't reflect on your child's progress. In this episode of Keeping It Behavioral, we break down everything parents/caregivers need to know when their child's BCBA changes.

We cover why transitions happen, how to prepare (from requesting timelines to sharing your child's history and progress), and how to support your child through the handoff — including tips for building rapport with a new provider while keeping routines consistent. We also talk about effective communication with both BCBAs and your child, what a successful transition looks like, and what to do if things aren't going well, including documenting concerns and knowing when to ask for a different provider.
