Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 17 (September 2015) . - p.106-115 Titre : Predictors of intention to turnover in behavior technicians working with individuals with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Ellie KAZEMI, Auteur ; Marnie SHAPIRO, Auteur ; Alyssa KAVNER, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : p.106-115 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Turnover  Behavior technician  Autism  Applied behavior analysis  Retention Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Employee turnover has deleterious effects on clinical services such that it hinders service quality, damages the therapeutic relationship, and compromises company infrastructure. However, little is known about predictors of turnover for behavior technicians (BTs) who implement behavioral interventions with individuals with autism. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify factors that serve as predictors of intention to turnover and provide a bedrock for direct assessment of strategies to reduce turnover among BTs. A total of 96 BTs from 19 different agencies in Southern California completed the entire online survey. We found that level of satisfaction with training, supervision, and pay (not their actual hourly pay), along with satisfaction with different aspects of the job (e.g., opportunities for advancement, praise for doing a good job) predicted BTs’ intent of turnover. We discussed the potential implications of our findings for researchers interested in examining methods to minimize turnover and increase continuity of behavioral care for individuals with autism spectrum disorders.

Predictors of perceptions of ABA services from the autistic community / Nicole Meyer STABLER in Research in Autism, 128 (October 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism > 128 (October 2025) . - p.202726 Titre : Predictors of perceptions of ABA services from the autistic community Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Nicole Meyer STABLER, Auteur ; Alyssa KAVNER, Auteur ; Isaac NWI-MOZU, Auteur ; Paula POMPA-CRAVEN, Auteur ; Amin D. LOTFIZADEH, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.202726 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Applied behavior analysis  Social validity  Perceptions  Autism  Intervention goals  Intervention procedures Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Applied behavior analysis (ABA) interventions are commonly used to teach autistic learners a variety of skills. When examining the perceptions of ABA goals and procedures, most autistic learners have reported positive or neutral perceptions of ABA, but some individuals have also expressed negative perceptions of goals that reduce or eliminate autistic traits and procedures that use extinction. This study assessed predictors of perceptions of ABA goals and procedures from self-reported autistic individuals who received ABA. Using a stratified sampling approach, 178 autistic participants aged nine and older completed a 36-question survey. The results indicated that gender identity, affiliation with an autism self-advocacy group, the setting of services, and when they received ABA influenced perceptions. There was consensus across all respondents that ABA goals eliminated autism traits, there was limited input from the autistic learners on goals, the therapist made them follow instructions, and the participants indicated that they were allowed to have things they needed. Furthermore, individuals who were sampled from ABA organizations and those who received ABA less than six years ago had favorable perceptions of ABA. These findings highlight the need to involve autistic voices in the development of treatment goals but also indicate that many of the critiques of ABA are not held by most in the autism community.
