• Behavior Analyst Burnout Assessment Tool

    Welcome to defy's Behavior Analyst Burnout Assessment Tool. The goal of this assessment is to help Behavior Analysts identify areas they may be experiencing burnout in using a function-based approach. The tool is designed to be completed in 10 minutes or less. All Behavior Analysts, regardless of tenure, are invited to participate.

    The components of this assessment have been based on previously validated standards which have guided the creation of this assessment (citations for each component of the tool can be found here). Laymen’s terms have been provided via hover text for each question in order to address respondent fluency, but we ask that you adhere to the technological description for your response. Our continued process will, in-turn, yield the Behavior Analyst Burnout Assessment Tool as a validated instrument, which allow you to evaluate your experience with burnout using conceptually-systematic language.

    The insights that you provide will help to create an empirically-supported assessment that provides indicators of burnout in our industry. Following the assessment, you will gain immediate access to our proprietary burnout resource library. Additionally, we encourage you to opt-in with your email address in order to access our disseminated baseline results regarding burnout in the ABA industry.

    Our goal is to develop evidenced-based solutions to fight against burnout and we thank you for your time, insight, and candor. Together we can truly move toward better living through behavior analysis.
