COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (CBS4) – A certified behavior analyst accused of assaulting a child with autism in Colorado Springs was arrested recently in Arizona after he obtained his license to continue practicing there, CBS4 partner KKTV reported. Brian Schaffer is accused of picking up a child at a Colorado Springs care facility and throwing him across a room in August.
Court documents also say that Schaffer put his hands around the child’s neck for 5 seconds. The child told police he couldn’t breathe and thought he would die.
