The QBA certification does not meet the standard for a Licensed Behavior Analyst in the state of Virginia.  The current BCBA program standards--especially with regard to accruing supervised fieldwork--should be significantly more rigorous than they are in order to adequately protect consumers.  A move to less stringent requirements is a step in the wrong direction when there is still work to be done to move practitioners in Virginia toward compassionate, thorough, and effective behavioral service delivery.
