Organizational culture in ABA therapy organizations is not an abstract concept — it is the aggregate pattern of behaviors that characterize how people in the organization treat each other, how decisions are made, how mistakes are handled, and how the organization's stated values are expressed in daily operations. When organizational culture is strong, positive, and aligned with professional values, it functions as a system of antecedents and consequences that makes high-quality clinical behavior more likely across every practitioner in the organization, regardless of individual supervision intensity.
