In addition, there are no streamlined, organization-led fieldwork supervision systems to aid in the professional development of Trainees to meet this need. This article describes enhancements made to the Apprentice Model (Hartley et al., 2016), emphasizing the mutual benefit to the Apprentice, the Supervising BCBA, the organization for which they are both employed, and perhaps most important, the field of behavior analysis. Within the organization where the Apprentice Model has been adopted, 88% of Apprentices who took the exam, since the 2022 modifications were applied, passed on their first attempt despite attending universities with 2021 reported pass rates ranging from 34%–60%(Behavior Analysts Certification Board [BACB], 2023) . In addition, through the 6-year history of the adoption of the Apprentice Model, 70% of the organization’s BCBAs who supervise a caseload of patients were prior Apprentices. Structuring a wide-scale supervision model within an organization creates opportunities for the Trainee to experience high-quality tailored fieldwork, it allows the Supervising BCBA to provide supervision under a well-organized and structured framework, and it permits the organization to employ high-quality, newly certified BCBAs to begin meeting patient treatment needs.  \nKeywords Apprentice · Supervision · Trainee · Innovation · Fieldwork  \nThe profession of behavior analysis would benefit from more highly skilled board certified behavior analysts (BCBAs) trained to provide treatment to the growing number of individuals affected with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) . A strategy for producing more highly skilled BCBAs is through the organizational adoption of a mutually beneficial training and supervisory system designed for the benefit of the field at large, the organization for which the Trainee is employed, the Trainee, and their BCBA supervisor.  \nThere has been an overwhelming increase in the need for BCBAs. In fact, a 2021 study conducted by Burning Glass Technologies and published by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB), found that demand for behavior analysts holding a BCBA or BCBA-D credential has increased by 4,209% since 2010 (BACB, 2021) . The increased demand  \nBreanne Hartley is now an Autism Services Consultant.  \n* Breanne Hartley [Hartley.Breanne@gmail.com](Hartley.Breanne@gmail.com)  \n1 LittleStar ABA Therapy, West Lafayette, IN, USA  \nfor BCBAs is largely due to a combination of three factors:  \n(1) an increased prevalence of ASD; (2) the growing cost associated with a diagnosis of ASD; and (3) state mandates requiring ABA coverage. In 2021, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 1 in 44 children are identified with ASD in the United States (CDC, 2022), representing a 100% increase in just the last decade. Blaxill (2021) prompted an “urgent focus on prevention strategies”to combat the influx in treatment needed for individuals with ASD, and as a result, the expanding cost of providing treatment for these individuals. In 2020, the cost of caring for individuals with ASD was estimated at $223 billion (about $690 per person in the United States) annually and projected to balloon to $5.54 trillion annually by 2060, likely due to the gradually increasing prevalence year after year. Because of the expanding need for treatment, it is encouraging that in 2019, all 50 of the United States required cov","cbCaiingRnRQO0Dc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiingRnRQO0Dc","pdf",653202,13,"English","# Abstract and Problem Statement\n## Enhancement Description and Mutual Benefits\n## Reported Outcomes After 2022 Modifications\n## Rationale for Increased BCBA Production","[{\"question\":\"What problem does the article address about ABA workforce capacity?\",\"answer\":\"It addresses an insufficient number of board-certified behavior analysts (BCBAs) with autism specialization to meet rising ABA treatment demand, alongside a lack of streamlined, organization-led fieldwork supervision systems for trainees.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the paper describe regarding the Apprentice Model?\",\"answer\":\"It describes enhancements to the Apprentice Model (Hartley et al., 2016), focusing on benefits for the apprentice, the supervising BCBA, and the employing organization, with an emphasis on impact on the behavior analysis field.\"},{\"question\":\"What outcomes are reported for organizations using the updated model?\",\"answer\":\"Within the adoption organization, 88% of apprentices who took the exam after the 2022 modifications passed on their first attempt, and 70% of supervising BCBAs had previously been apprentices.\"}]","The Apprentice Model 2.0 - Enhancement of the Apprentice Model | PDF",1789916193,33]
