Why BCBA Matters

The difference between real ABA and the rest

In India, anyone can call a programme 'ABA'. Only a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) is internationally trained and accountable to deliver it. Dew Drops is BCBA-led from day one.

1

Internationally credentialled

BCBAs are certified by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board, USA — the global benchmark for ethical ABA.

2

Individualized, not cookie-cutter

A BCBA designs goals for your child, not a generic curriculum copied from a textbook.

3

Measurable progress

Every session is data-driven. You see exactly what your child is learning and how fast.

4

Ethical safeguards

BCBA oversight protects families from unqualified providers and outdated practice.

FAQ

Honest answers to the questions parents actually ask

If your question is not here, our team is happy to answer it on a free discovery call.

Applied Behavior Analysis is the most extensively researched therapy for autism and developmental delays. Done well — by a BCBA — it is individualized, play-based and focused on the skills your child will use in real life.

A Board Certified Behavior Analyst is an internationally credentialled clinician trained to design and supervise ABA programmes ethically. Without BCBA oversight, 'ABA' in India often means generic worksheets and untrained staff. We do not do that.

We accept children from around 18 months. The earlier we begin, the bigger the gains — but children of all ages benefit when the programme is designed for them.

School readiness is one of the core goals of our recovery model. We coordinate with schools, train shadow teachers and prepare children for group classrooms whenever it is the right outcome for the child.

It depends on the assessment. Some children thrive with focused short programmes; others benefit from comprehensive early intervention. We recommend honestly, never to fill a schedule.
