Abstract

The costs for delivering services to individuals with autism and other disabilities total more than $137 billion annually and grow exponentially. Given this figure, service-delivery organizations are under pressure to ensure staff are well-prepared to deliver services through the provision of training. Providing effective staff training and performance management is also necessary for the delivery of evidence-based practice and is an ethical obligation for Behavior Analyst Certification Board®, Inc. (BACB®) certificants. The purpose of the present study was to document the various types of staff and supervisory training and performance management procedures offered to BACB® certificants and aspirants working in applied settings.
