Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) report barriers to procedural integrity monitoring, including lack of training and time. These challenges impact data collection, tracking, and analysis in applied behavior analysis (ABA) services.
Area of Science:
- Behavior Analysis
- Clinical Psychology
- Autism Spectrum Disorder Interventions
Background:
- Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) practice guidelines exist from the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) and Council of Autism Service Providers (CASP).
- Research indicates barriers to implementing ABA guidelines in clinical practice.
- No prior studies assessed procedural integrity training, practices, and barriers for Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs).
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine the extent of BCBAs' engagement in procedural integrity monitoring.
- To identify barriers BCBAs encounter in clinical practice regarding procedural integrity.
- To inform training and support for BCBAs in ABA service delivery.
Main Methods:
- Survey of Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) practitioners.
- Assessed engagement in procedural integrity monitoring processes.
- Investigated reported barriers to procedural integrity responsibilities.
Main Results:
- BCBAs frequently observe providers and offer feedback on clinical services.
- Key barriers include lack of training, time constraints, and inadequate systems.
- Competing contingencies also hinder data-related procedural integrity tasks (collection, tracking, analysis).
Conclusions:
- Findings highlight significant barriers to procedural integrity monitoring for BCBAs.
- Implications for enhancing BCBA training and support systems are discussed.
- Recommendations for potential solutions and future research directions are provided.
