Behavior Analytic Skills Training in School Psychology Programs
Contemporary School Psychology, v26 n1 p132-140 Mar 2022
Applied behavior analysis (ABA) has played an important role in the practice of school psychology. Despite the field's expectation of school psychologists to effectively address student behavior, little attention has been placed on the development of school psychology graduate students' training in ABA. An extensive review was undertaken to assess the amount and content of required ABA coursework in school psychology training curricula. Findings, discussed within the context of meeting the training needs of school psychology students, indicated that the majority (77%) of programs offered only one or no course focused on ABA knowledge and skills. Content focus varied between specialist level and doctoral level programs.
