Abstract: Although there is an abundance of research and clinical practice guidelines for the use of applied behavior analysis with students with autism in school and parent-based home settings, there is a dearth of information regarding the use of applied behavior analysis in agency-based residential programs for individuals with autism spectrum disorder. There are vast differences between running a school program and developing a residential program for students with ASD. This panel discussion will include agency members from a variety of perspectives including management, supervision, behavior management, special education and speech pathology to provide insight into the difficulties as well as successes in such an endeavor.
