Behavior Frontiers has enhanced our policies and procedures regarding the delivery of our ABA services, including, limiting staff in clients’ homes, adhering to CDC guidelines for safety and social distancing requirements for center-based services, and offering telehealth services. We also require employees and clients to cancel sessions if they exhibit any symptoms of COVID-19, as well as provide detailed protocols for clients and employees who have tested positive for COVID-19.
