Applied ABC Bolsters Hawaii Autism Care With Professional Training

The sessions focused on QBS Safety-Care protocols, a nationally recognized framework for managing challenging behaviors. By training practitioners in techniques that prioritize the safety and dignity of both the child and the provider, the organization aims to elevate the standard of care available across the islands. This certification event is the first of several planned educational outreach efforts by the firm as it scales its Applied Behavior Analysis therapy services in the region.

Clinical Director Michelle McInnes emphasized that the investment serves a dual purpose: expanding the company’s clinical footprint while fostering a sustainable professional network within Hawaii. Beyond direct therapy, Applied ABC intends to deepen its local presence through ongoing partnerships with schools and community organizations. The firm expects to host additional certification workshops in the coming months to address the growing demand for specialized autism services.
