As the number of and demand for board certified behavior analysts (BCBAs) grows across the United States, it is increasingly important to evaluate the status of the applied behavior analysis (ABA) workforce. The goal of this study was to evaluate the current status of the field of ABA within the state of Vermont. We surveyed practicing RBTs, BCaBAs, BCBAs, BCBA-Ds, and ABA professionals within Vermont. We gathered and analyzed information regarding practitioner training and supervision experiences, current work conditions, strengths and barriers related to education, supervision, and practice within the field of ABA in Vermont, and historical and demographic information. Survey responses were analyzed using quantitative and qualitative methods and themes and results are discussed. This study may serve as a model for other states to conduct similar analyses to better meet the needs of the changing landscape of the field of ABA.
