Calibrate ABA is designed for parents of children and youth with an intellectual developmental disability (IDD), including autism, who are engaging in dangerous or severe behaviors that could become dangerous.

The Calibrate ABA Program equips you—whether you're a BCBA, LMFT, LCSW, or Psychologist—with essential skills to coach caregivers on evidence-based strategies for reducing dangerous or severe behaviors in developmentally disabled youth. This program helps you effectively develop, collaborate on, and guide caregivers in creating and implementing strong behavior support plans. The goal is to minimize behaviors that could lead to injury or involve law enforcement. By reducing these high-risk behaviors, you play a key role in ensuring the safety and well-being of the youth and the community.
