If your therapist is working for you, and you're paying out of your own pocket, you're in the driver's seat. Ask for the changes you want, or ask for a change in therapists. If you don't get what you feel you need, go back to the BACB (Behavior Analyst Certification Board) website, ask other parents for suggestions, and find a different therapist with the qualities you're seeking.
If your therapist is provided by the school system, you can start with the same approach. Armed with your knowledge of the therapist's training, credentials, experience and approach, bring your concerns to the school administration and/or IEP team. Be sure to put all of your concerns in writing, and be sure to keep a copy for your files.
It may be easier than you anticipate for the school to administer appropriate assessments, provide additional training, or change therapists. If your school does not respond to your concerns, it may make sense for you to take the next step on your own.
