“…It often leads to absenteeism, job turnover, and service disruption, which can be detrimental to the client's progress and the overall quality of services. Moreover, absenteeism soon becomes a stress source for the staff that remains on duty leading to more absenteeism and turnover (Kazemi, Shapiro, & Kavner, 2015). On occasions, employees experiencing burnout will continue working, albeit performing poorly, engaging in a spiral leading to long-term stress and lower standards of service (Hughes, 2001).…”

“…All the reviewed studies administered survey questionnaires or batteries of measures to samples of behavior technicians (Gibson et al 2009;Griffith et al 2014;Hurt et al 2013;Kazemi et al 2015;Kelly and Barnes-Holmes 2013). One study also administered a computer-based task to participants (Kelly and Barnes-Holmes 2013).…”

“…Samples of participants were predominately female, ranging between 89% and 100% female across studies. Three of the studies provided the geographical region where their sample of participants worked, which included California (Kazemi et al 2015), Ireland (Gibson et al 2009), and the United Kingdom (Griffith et al 2014). The behavior technicians worked in home (Hurt et al 2013;Kazemi et al 2015) and school settings (Gibson et al 2009;Griffith et al 2014;Kazemi et al 2015;Kelly and Barnes-Holmes 2013).…”

Frequent turnover of behavior technicians working with individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may have negative impacts on organizations, staff, and patients. The current paper set out to conduct a systematic review of predictors of staff retention in behavior technicians. Two databases were searched to identify studies relating to retention, turnover, burnout, and job satisfaction across samples of behavior technicians working with individuals with ASD. Of the 33 articles identified, 5 studies met inclusion criteria. A number of employee and organizational factors were identified as predictors of burnout, job satisfaction, and intention to turnover in behavior technicians. These findings are informative for hiring practices, ongoing supervision, and support of behavior technicians working with individuals with ASD.

The teaching interaction procedure is a behavior analytic procedure that has been used to target the development of social skills. The teaching interaction procedure consists of labeling the target skill, providing a meaningful rationale, describing the steps of the target skill, modeling the skill, role‐play, and providing feedback throughout the interaction. Although the teaching interaction procedure has been used to teach a variety of social skills for individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), it has only been used to train staff in two studies. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of the teaching interaction procedure to teach three interventionists to implement the Cool versus Not Cool™ procedure to target the development of social skills for children diagnosed with ASD. The results of a multiple baseline design demonstrated that the teaching interaction procedure was effective for all three interventionists. Results of the child participants' skill acquisition are also provided.
