A survey for BCBAs on the number of treatment plans implemented and data collected at once.

One of the most frequently asked questions in the ABA field is the amount of programs run per individual. When I first transitioned into the ABA field as an RBT, I often saw large amounts of programs to run(and still do see them!) with max number trials. I then thought why do we, the RBTs, need to run so many different programs so many times to get data to save throughout a session? This leads to RBT and CLIENT burnout. Many RBTs scramble to include every program and in turn arent able to get sufficient data. My thought is to take a small amount of programs at a time to run and focus on the potential data. My only concern is have we as a field thought of this already, but insurance doesn't allow for it? That is where BCBA'S come in! I'm looking for answers from experience and any insight you have to offer! As a Student Analyst, my goal is to better the field and learn every day. I appreciate the participation and insight, you are greatly appreciated!
