Rates and Fees Comparison

By thebehavioranalyst

As a Behavior Analyst, I get a lot of inquiries all the time about rates and fees. So, I get phone inquiries telling me how much they have already paid out for other behavior, therapy, learning professionals in New Jersey.

Average rates examples for In-person consults

Speech Therapy $ 125 per hour

Physical Therapy $90 – $125 per hour

DAN Doctor ( Defeat Autism Now ) $300 and higher for one hour consult, additional fees for products

Massage Therapist $80 plus tip

Occupational Therapy $125 per hour

Psychologist $175 and higher per hour

Autism Coach $125 per hour

- In another post on this blog I had featured the rates of phone consults on a national level. Shockingly, they averaged $100 per hour for even non-degreed individuals !

So my response back is usually, as Behavior Analysts, we need to make a living too. We are advising, designing, assisting to implement a therapeutic change in someone’s life and/or environment. Our job is an important one and should be compensated fairly.

Just as the rates and fees of the above mentioned professionals, Behavior Analysts work hard and are professionals too.

FYI: At this time, there are only approximately 5,000 professionals that hold the title of Board Certified Behavior Analyst ( BCBA) and Board Certified Assistant Analyst.( BCaBA)   www.bacb.com
