Applied Behavior Analysis has become a widely represented field within the last decade.  This increase in behavior change practitioners has brought with it a wide variety of types of practice.  Home B.A.S.E. subscribes to the following practices to guide our work:
Our practice reflects the knowledge and standards recognized by our professional colleagues:
	The principles of Behavior Analysis that have been defined and demonstrated by our colleagues through peer reviewed journals.
	The 7 characteristics of Applied Behavior Analysis developed by Baer, Wolf and Risely (1968) and widely accepted by our professional colleagues.
	The code of conduct established by the Behavior Analyst Certification board.
To support these principles we’ve found the following techniques and methodologies to be helpful:
	Using descriptive and experimental functional analysis assessments to drive behavior intervention programs.
	Teaching appropriate functionally equivalent alternative responses as a pivotal component of behavior intervention programs.
	A functional approach to language training taking into account Skinner’s analysis of Verbal Behavior.
	The Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS)
	Home B.A.S.E. is very excited to be using The Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program (VB-MAPP)
	The Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills (ABLLS)
	Errorless Learning
	Discrete Trial Training, Task Analysis, Shaping, and other evidence based teaching practices
	Programming always in the most natural (least restrictive) environment for measurable progress, based on individual needs
	Appropriate support to parents, teachers, and other program implementers — always including demonstration, guidance, and timely feedback.
	Whenever possible, the use of Self Management and self monitoring programs to promote the greatest likelihood of maintaining behavior change.
	Ensuring generalization of teaching programs by planning for generalization from the very beginning.
