Person- and Family-centered Care in Applied Behavior Analysis

The National Academies’ forthcoming consensus report, The Comprehensive Autism Care Demonstration: Solutions for Military Families, examines the delivery of ABA to TRICARE-eligible beneficiaries and the impacts on military-connected families using the demonstration to assess ABA services and offers recommendations to improve the delivery of ABA services to TRICARE beneficiaries that need them.

The National Academies’ Board on Children, Youth, and Families will host an event on October 8, 2025, 1:00 to 5:00 pm EDT, to further explore the findings of this consensus report, particularly the need for individualized care. This event will bring together experts in autism diagnosis and ABA delivery and assessment, representatives from families receiving ABA, ABA providers, and policy makers to discuss current best practices for person- and family-centered care. Participants can join the event in person in Washington, DC or online.
