Pa. Code 5240.103

Requirements for EBT delivered through individual services, ABA services or group services

This regulation governs Intensive Behavioral Health Services (IBHS) agencies in Pennsylvania that deliver Evidence-Based Treatments (EBT) through individual services, ABA services, or group services. IBHS agencies must hold certification or licensure from the national organization that developed the EBT, ensure staff meet EBT-specified qualifications and supervision requirements, and maintain written policies to measure adherence and outcomes. Agencies must continuously monitor fidelity to the EBT and, if standards are not met, develop and complete a corrective action plan approved by the national certifying organization or the Department.
