Safety-Care® For ABA Organizations

Practical, Prevention-First Safety Skills for ABA Teams

Built by BCBAs. Grounded in Behavioral Research.

Safety-Care® equips ABA clinics and multi-site organizations with practical, prevention-first safety skills that help teams prevent escalation, respond consistently, and protect therapeutic relationships when behavior becomes unsafe.

Built by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and grounded in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and PBIS principles, Safety-Care focuses on performance under real conditions so staff know what to do before, during, and after escalation.

This approach supports consistent response across technicians, supervisors, and locations, reducing variability, improving staff confidence, and strengthening safety without compromising clinical values or client dignity.

Support for ABA & Behavioral Health

From RBTs and behavior technicians to clinical directors and operations leaders, Safety-Care helps ABA teams establish shared, prevention-first expectations so safety decisions are consistent across staff, shifts, and sites—not dependent on individual experience or who is on duty.

Teams use Safety-Care to reduce crisis-driven disruption, minimize the need for restrictive responses, and maintain stable, supportive environments for both clients and staff.

Why ABA Organizations Choose Safety‑Care

Safety-Care is evidence-based and trauma-informed.

Programs like CPI (Crisis Prevention Institute) weren’t designed for behavior analysis. Safety‑Care is developed by BCBAs and aligns with the BACB Ethics Code, BHCOE, and CARF standards. It integrates into ABA supervision and staff training, reinforcing clinical quality and reducing injuries.

Compliance & Accreditation Alignment

Safety-Care® is designed to help ABA organizations meet accreditation, ethics, and payer expectations.

BACB Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts (2022) and RBT Ethics Code (2.0)

BHCOE, ACQ, and CARF Behavioral Health accreditation standards for de-escalation, restraint, and documentation

HCBS Settings Rule principles (person-centered planning; freedom from coercion and restraint)

Payer and Medicaid training requirements for risk reduction and least-restrictive intervention practices
