The food is excellent. The cooler temperature log stopped in March. That is roughly where compliance sits in many small ABA practices. The clinical work may be genuinely good, while the systems that document it have no clear owner. Recent federal Medicaid audits of ABA show why that gap matters. Here is why it forms, why home- and community-based services make it harder, and what right-sized compliance looks like. ]]></description><link>https://shop.prismadimensionsgroup.com/post/why-small-aba-practices-struggle-with-compliance</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6ae0d849a12bf3a1d3afe255</guid><category><![CDATA[Operations & Systems]]></category><category><![CDATA[Clinical Excellence]]></category><category><![CDATA[Starting & Scaling A Practice]]></category><category><![CDATA[Compliance & Regulations]]></category><pubDate>Tue, 27 Oct 2026 06:00:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/95e656_32158fbdea9148ef850ba40403f9cbc9~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_896,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Courtney Padelsky, MS, BCaBA</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Assent in ABA: Why Believing In It Isn't Enough]]></title><description><![CDATA[Picture a store with a no-questions-asked return policy and a register with no return function. The policy is real. The customer still goes home with the thing she didn't want. That's roughly where our field sits on assent. Nearly everyone agrees it matters. Far fewer organizations can say where it appears in their intake paperwork, how staff are trained to recognize it, or what happens to the billing when a session ends early. Here's what it takes to move assent to a working system.]]></description><link>https://shop.prismadimensionsgroup.com/post/assent-in-aba-why-believing-in-it-isnt-enough</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6aad6f6cdf3a8fe3ae4cd517</guid><category><![CDATA[Operations & Systems]]></category><category><![CDATA[Clinical Practice & Supervision]]></category><pubDate>Fri, 18 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/95e656_ebadb14dc24b411ea80e5cd043c3aa53~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_768,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Courtney Padelsky, MS, BCaBA</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[What Good Supervision Looks Like: BCBA Supervision Requirements]]></title><description><![CDATA[You can hit 5%, log two contacts a month, and pass any audit.

So Why Is It So Hard to Access?]]></title><description><![CDATA[Adult ABA isn't rare because the science stops working after childhood. It's rare because of decades of funding priorities, fragmented systems, and workforce gaps that built a pediatric-first model of care. This article traces how that happened, what adult behavior analytic services actually look like in practice, and why treating adulthood as a distinct, not extended, practice area is the next frontier for the field.

It's overwhelm. Suddenly every client file feels suspect. Every personnel record becomes a question mark. Every policy feels outdated. Every shared drive starts looking like a scavenger hunt.
That reaction is understandable. But audits rarely create those questions.

Once clinical supervision requirements, Medicaid contracts, and state licensing laws enter the picture, generic HR guidance stops being enough.

In theory, the math works: more hands = more coverage = more capacity. Here’s where the math falls apart: hiring doesn’t fix operational chaos - it exposes it. If your onboarding is inconsistent (or nonexistent), your documentation expectations are fuzzy (or only live in your head), or your billing workflows live across three different systems and a prayer…adding staff doesn’t solve the problem. It multiplies it.
