Defend Access to Care: Support COABA’s Public Policy Initiatives
The Colorado Association for Behavior Analysis (COABA) is on the front lines, protecting the rights of behavior analysts, RBTs, and the individuals and families we serve. Right now, we are pushing back against a recent state-issued RBT memo that places unnecessary and harmful restrictions on the delivery of services. These changes threaten access to care for countless children and families who rely on ABA therapy.
We are prepared to take legal action if necessary—and your support makes that possible.
Why This Matters
The RBT memo’s restrictions could:
-
Reduce the availability of qualified providers.
-
Increase service delays for families already on waitlists.
-
Create barriers for medically necessary treatment.
COABA is working tirelessly to challenge this through education, advocacy, and, if required, legal avenues under the Administrative Procedures Act. This fight is about preserving access to high-quality ABA services and preventing precedent-setting policies that could harm our field for years to come.
