What is a Behavior Analyst? 

Behavior analysts assess environmental influences on behavior, develop individualized intervention plans, implement assessment-based interventions, and use data to make instructional decisions.
 
They use applied behavior analysis (ABA) to employ evidence-based principles that improve social, academic, daily living, vocational and quality of life outcomes for individuals with autism spectrum disorder or other developmental disabilities.
