Introducing the New ABA Business Leaders Training Platform Free for 6 Months if you sign up before the offical launch on November 11th - See below for more details. Welcome to the launch of the new ABA Business Leaders training platform! Designed to streamline and enhance staff management in ABA practices, this platform empowers administrators to customize roles, assign skills, and set up structured growth paths for their teams. In this blog, we’ll walk you through what the platform offers, how to get started, and some key resources to ensure a smooth onboarding experience. What You’ll Find on the ABA Business Leaders Platform 1. Admin Control and Customization The platform enables admins to create specific job roles, assign tasks, and set up both rank and required skills for each role. Rank skills, such as Manding, allow for growth tracking, while required skills ensure consistency in essential duties like punctuality. This customizability supports a tailored approach, letting each organization define success criteria relevant to their goals. 2. Detailed Staff Management Tools Beyond assigning job titles and skills, admins can create unique levels within roles. For instance, a Behavior Technician (BT) role can have multiple growth levels, allowing for professional development within a single job title. The platform also supports specialized job categories for roles like admin staff, billers, or schedulers, each with its distinct set of skills and progression paths. 3. Tracking and Progress Assessment The platform’s task list allows admins to track the completion of specific skills and tasks, facilitating competency-based assessment. Users can view their progress in real-time, check percentage completion, and review areas for improvement. This structured progress tracking helps ensure consistent skill development aligned with ABA best practices. Get Started Today with an Exclusive Free Offer!
