NYS Legislative Updates
NYS Annual Prescriber FormPosted 4/7/24; Updated 6/22/24
Chapter 818 of the Laws of 2021 (818) became effective June 30, 2023 and allows Licensed Behavior Analysts to provide ABA services to any person with a diagnosis in the DSM-V, not just autism spectrum disorder. As per this law, the licensed behavior analyst is required to report to the prescribing licensed professional on an annual basis. Failure to report to the prescriber on an annual basis is considered professional misconduct. NYSABA has developed a form that can be used to submit this report to the provider. This one page form has been developed in collaboration with Dr. Dennis Kuo, a developmental pediatrician, and feedback was obtained from other prescribers. The requirement to report to the prescriber is a great opportunity for LBAs to disseminate information regarding the efficacy of ABA services. The form is attached below.
 You can find instructions for the form HERE.
