摘要

The study examined trainees’ experiences with applied behavior analysis (ABA) fieldwork supervision, addressing the growing importance of preparing professionals for certification by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board®. We administered a 28-question survey covering trainee demographics, supervision structure, the perceived utility of supervision practices, barriers to quality supervision, and factors that influenced supervised activities. Of all respondents, 137 met eligibility criteria and completed the survey, and were therefore included in the analysis. Findings suggest that organizational and supervisor-related factors may impede high-quality, competency-based fieldwork experiences, highlighting the need for systematic approaches to supervision that ensure consistency, adherence to best practices, and support for trainee development. We identified specific barriers to supervision quality, as well as strategies and practices that can enhance the effectiveness and overall quality of ABA training. We further discussed the implications for improving supervision and fostering high-quality service delivery in ABA, making this work relevant to broader conversations about the standards and quality of services within the ABA field.
