Abstract

We conducted an online survey of board certified behavior analysts (n = 67) at a human services organization to assess their attitudes and opinions about trauma-informed care (TIC) of persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and compatibility with behavior analytic practice. Survey respondents indicated they had no to minimal college level/graduate school coursework, training, supervision, and implementation experience in TIC. They largely agreed that TIC should be considered for persons with IDD, provides knowledge that can improve behavior analytic services, should be emphasized in training, and is within the scope of behavior analyst practice. However, there was strong agreement that TIC is not defined or practiced consistently and is not well-researched by behavior analysts. We discuss the implications of these findings and present survey informed recommendations for advancing TIC within the behavior analytic professional community.

对智力和发育障碍者的创伤知情护理 (TIC)：对一家人类服务机构的注册行为分析师进行试点调查

我们对一家人类服务机构中获得认证的行为分析师（n = 67）进行了在线调查，以评估他们对智力和发育障碍（IDD）患者的创伤知情护理（TIC）以及与行为分析实践的兼容性的态度和看法。调查对象表示，他们在 TIC 方面没有或仅有极少的大学/研究生课程、培训、监督和实施经验。他们普遍认为，应该考虑为 IDD 患者提供 TIC，TIC 提供的知识可以改善行为分析服务，应该在培训中予以强调，并且属于行为分析实践的范围。然而，他们一致认为，行为分析师对 TIC 的定义或实践并不一致，也没有进行充分的研究。我们讨论了这些发现的影响，并提出了在行为分析专业团体中推进 TIC 的调查建议。

期刊介绍： Behavior Analysis in Practice, an official journal of the Association for Behavior Analysis International, is a peer-reviewed translational publication designed to provide science-based, best-practice information relevant to service delivery in behavior analysis. The target audience includes front-line service workers and their supervisors, scientist-practitioners, and school personnel. The mission of Behavior Analysis in Practice is to promote empirically validated best practices in an accessible format that describes not only what works, but also the challenges of implementation in practical settings. Types of articles and topics published include empirical reports describing the application and evaluation of behavior-analytic procedures and programs; discussion papers on professional and practice issues; technical articles on methods, data analysis, or instrumentation in the practice of behavior analysis; tutorials on terms, procedures, and theories relevant to best practices in behavior analysis; and critical reviews of books and products that are aimed at practitioners or consumers of behavior analysis.
