Quick Guide to ABA Licensure Regulations

New Jersey requires anyone practising applied behavior analysis independently to hold a state licence issued by the State Board of Psychological Examiners. The regulations set out who may supervise, how much supervision is required and what a client must be told before treatment begins.

For families the practical effect is a public register: you can check a provider’s licence, see whether it is in good standing and file a complaint with the Board if something goes wrong.

This guide summarises the regulations in plain language; it is not legal advice. Providers with questions about their own obligations should contact the Board directly.
