A growing workforce of behavior analysts provides services to individuals with autism and intellectual disabilities as legislative initiatives have spurred a growth of funding options to support these services. Though many opportunities currently exist for serving individuals with autism, the growing demand for these services may wane or, at some point, the growth in service providers will meet that demand. Other consumer groups could benefit from behavior analytic services, but typically have limited access to qualified providers. Individuals with dementia and traumatic brain injury are used as example consumer groups to illustrate the necessary tasks for a behavior analyst to expand their scope of practice to a new population. This paper provides strategies for developing competence and creating employment opportunities with new consumer groups.
随着立法举措刺激了支持这些服务的资金选择的增加，越来越多的行为分析师为自闭症和智力残疾患者提供服务。尽管目前有很多为自闭症患者提供服务的机会，但对这些服务不断增长的需求可能会减弱，或者在某个时候，服务提供者的增长将满足这一需求。其他消费群体也可以从行为分析服务中受益，但通常获得合格服务提供者的机会有限。患有痴呆症和创伤性脑损伤的个体被用作示例消费群体，以说明行为分析师将其实践范围扩展到新人群所需的任务。本文提供了培养能力以及为新消费群体创造就业机会的策略。
