Request for Research Participants from APBA Member, Rachel White:

You are invited to participate in a brief research survey focused on how ABA providers understand and define commonly used behavioral terms. This study is specifically seeking participants who hold a current BCBA®, BCABA®, or BCBA-D®certification. The goal is to better understand how key concepts are interpreted across practitioners, with the aim of improving definitional consistency and informing future training and practice. The one-time survey consists of multiple-choice items and takes approximately 10–15 minutes to complete. Your responses, including name and contact information, will be kept confidential.

If you are interested in participating, please use the link below:
