Our Autism Team:
Our Autism Specialists, Mr. Zachary Houston, M.S. BCBA and Dr. Janice Renk Ed.D. BCBA utilize "best practice" interventions based on the latest research and education in the field of autism. All interventions are based on the use of a functional analysis and include a written individualized behavior program developed for each child or adult. Strategies include functional communication training, data collection, parent or staff training, the use of replacement skills and on-going parent or staff training.
 
Mr. Zachary Houston and Dr. Renk teach TOOLS FOR POSITIVE BEHAVIOR CHANGE, a basic class in behavior analysis to parents and caregivers. This course, taught with an additional ten hours of BASIC RULES OF INTERACTION WITH ADULTS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES meet criteria for most state funded 30/40 hour behavior assistant/ and behavior tutor standards.

On-Site Training:
An important and defining feature of our ABA programs is that they are directed by professionals with advanced formal training in behavior analysis, at least a master's degree, as well as supervised experience in designing and implementing ABA programming for individuals with autism and related disorders. The I-CAN Behavior Analysts have met the educational, experiential, and examination performance standards of the Behavior Analyst Certification Board and are Board Certified Behavior Analysts. They adhere to the BACB's Guidelines for Responsible Conduct and base treatment on the best available scientific evidence.

The I-CAN, Inc. behavioral staff provide a functional assessment prior to treatment and a behavior intervention plan, which is trained to the family and caregivers on an ongoing basis. Targeted skills are taken from specific goals set by the individual and his or her circle of supports which are taught directly by our well trained staff of BCBAs, BCaBAs and Behavior Assistants.
