Community-Based Development of Rural Behavior Analysts
Mason, Lee L.; Perales, Jessica; Gallegos, Eric
Rural Special Education Quarterly, v32 n3 p20-23 Sep 2013
In this paper, we address the shortage of behavior analysts serving rural communities and outline a model of service delivery for rural students with autism spectrum disorders. The model involves the use of pre-service behavior analysts to provide behavioral intervention to students with ASD in exchange for district-supported training and supervision experiences. Specific examples are provided from the state of Texas, but the conclusions are applicable to all of rural America.
