“…VAPSBAN furthers the collaborative efforts to promote ABA in the field of education. Education has not yet realized Skinner’s vision for the potential impact of ABA (Bordieri et al, 2012 ) but professional peer networks, such as VAPSBAN can support enhanced competence of school-based BCBAs while potentially increasing awareness and understanding for school district personnel. The public schools are distinctive from other environments where behavior analysis is applied (Brodhead et al 2018 ) and BCBAs practicing in this setting need a comprehensive set of skills in both behavior analysis and education (Brodhead et al, 2018 ; Layng et al, 2011 ; Mason et al, 2013 ; Putnam & Kincaid, 2015 ).…”

“…In addition to the benefits VAPSBAN has provided its members, it stands as a preliminary model for others. Though Skinner’s vision of education may not have yet been realized (Bordieri et al, 2012 ) and the growth of behavior analysis in schools has been slow (Putnam & Kincaid, 2015 ), behavior analysis can have a great impact on public education. However, individual behavior analysts working in public schools may not have the capacity or collective efficacy to make the changes needed.…”

“…Behavior analysts have long worked to influence public education, yet established adoption of applied behavior analysis (ABA) in the public school setting has been slow moving (Putnam & Kincaid, 2015 ). Bordieri et al ( 2012 ) echoed this sentiment suggesting the field has not realized Skinner’s vision for the impact of ABA in public schools. Nevertheless, progress has been made.…”

Despite efforts to increase the presence of behavior analysis in public schools, the process has been slow. Though more Board Certified Behavior Analysts® (BCBAs®) are working in public school settings, supports for this group of BCBAs are varied in both what they look like and their availability. It is not uncommon for BCBAs to work with little or no support from other BCBAs in their school district. Those who do have other BCBA colleagues in their district may not have structures in place to collaborate or grow as a behavior analyst. The current article describes a statewide initiative to increase supports for BCBAs working in public school settings. The network was formed with three chief goals: 1) to build a professional peer network for school-based BCBAs; 2) to provide continuing education events targeted to school-based BCBAs to promote increased competence; and 3) to encourage continued scholarship. This manuscript provides a description of the network efforts to date as well as areas that will continue to be evaluated and addressed.

“…Due to its emphasis on measurement, evaluation, and the single-subject research design that accompanies its application, ABA instructional strategies comprise many of those that have been recognized as evidence-based practices (Horner, Carr, Halle, McGee, & Wolery, 2005). Moreover, these instructional strategies increase the likelihood of improved academic, social, and behavioral performance of students with disabilities, especially in a time of declining educational performance (Bordieri, Kellum, & Wilson, 2012).…”

The development and the evolution of the Virginia Applied Behavior Analysis Consortium, a collaborative project between four institutions of higher education in the state of Virginia, are described. The main goal of the program is to address the shortage of certified behavior analysts by preparing special education teachers and autism specialists to implement effective behavior-analytic interventions in natural environments. In this article, we briefly discuss the history and the purpose of the program, its components, the evolution of the program, the advantages and outcomes of a collaborative model, and future directions for improvement.
