Applied Behavior Analysis as a career field has progressed rapidly within recent years, and those who are provided services under this umbrella show a majority of children under the age of 18. With ABA's focus on improving life for all of those effected, it is important to note the effects that CSA can have not only on children, but also adult survivors and the stakeholders surrounding them. This study focuses on the level of knowledge and preparedness that Board Certifies Behavior Analysts have in regards to CSA. In order to obtain the information on these levels, a survey will be conducted. This survey will be completed by Board Certified Behavior Analysts within the state of Tennessee. Once completing the survey, answers will be evaluated on their accuracy of knowledge as well as their personal opinion of preparedness. These levels will then be discussed on whether additional measures, such as trainings and classes, are important steps in increasing knowledge and readiness levels.
