Burnout in ABA is often treated as an individual problem requiring better self-care, stronger boundaries, or greater resilience. But when unsustainable work patterns are repeatedly reinforced by the environments in which we work, individual strategies alone may not be enough.

In this 1-hour Learning CE, Danielle Pedersen, M.A., BCBA, LBA, applies a behavior-analytic lens to burnout in ABA. You’ll examine the antecedents and consequences that can maintain overwork, identify environmental and organizational variables contributing to burnout, and explore practical strategies for creating more sustainable patterns.

By the end of the course, you’ll be better prepared to identify what is maintaining an unsustainable work cycle and select realistic changes that address the variables actually driving it.
