They often work with people who have developmental disabilities, brain injuries or emotional control, social or behavioral issues. BCBAs might also help people manage issues such as stress or anger in healthier ways or achieve personal behavior goals. Some BCBAs specialize in one population of patients, such as children, people with autism or the elderly.
