Diagnosed AuDHD BCaBA! How tf do we manage to keep organized and on track? Are you using timers on your phone? Staying up until 2 am to do things “after hours?” Checklists? I like automation so I’ve been building templates for things that I use commonly, but any tips and tricks that actually stick would be helpful.

I’m a BCBA. I’m no longer working with a child and their family and all treatment and services have been ended. Am I allowed to continue a friendly relationship with the family now that I don’t provide them with, and won’t provide them with, ABA services? #ABA #BCBA #BACB #ethics #clinician

Hello! I was looking for recommendations of online master programs from former or current students who have passed their bcba exams.

A plus if they helped you with fieldwork hours

I'm just putting out some feelers and wanting confirmation on whether this whole thought process is a no-go. I'm transitioning away from a career in management in the tourism and resource interpretation field and am contemplating a pivot to another career with advancement potential. I've seen postings for Registered Behavior Technician positions, and am curious. While I recently completed a career pathway certificate in alcohol and drug counseling, my master's degree is in historic preservation, a field that has been absolutely gutted by the current administration. It appears that the Verified Course Sequence has been phased out, so do I now need to complete an entire master's degree if I'm ultimately looking at BCBA positions in a few years' time?

Is this pretty much guaranteeing me a job where I would be stuck making $20-25 an hour with no upward trajectory, or are there opportunities to have continuing education and job placement supported? I am in western Oregon, near Eugene. Brutal honesty would be appreciated here. I completely understand that behavioral fields are rife with burnout but am emotionally mature and resilient. Analysis and instruction is a core part of my current position, but it is becoming increasingly untenable to find work that offers compensation to support a household.

Hi, I’m looking into picking up some extra part time work doing remote in Missouri, I have had a few interviews for both part time and full time positions, looking to see what salaried positions looks like out there before I lowball myself. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I am currently a BCBA for a non-public/alternative school and am considering making a switch to public schools. Has anyone made this switch? What was your experience?

Everything is taken care of in house at my current school, I see my behavioral students every day. If I switched to public it would be between multiple schools.

Thanks!

Hi y'all :) for those BCBAs that started taking on their own client, how did you find your very first client? I have a BT already and am thinking about the best way to find a client in need. Thanks for any responses

Hi everyone, I have a Master’s degree in Business Analytics and I’m interested in becoming a BCBA. Can I complete a post-master’s ABA certificate instead of another master’s degree?

Looking for recommendations for ABA certificate programs that would lead toward BCBA eligibility. Thank you!

I’m planning to apply for my BCBA in 2027. I completed concentrated fieldwork hours in 2026 using the 2022 forms. Though I won’t have all the hours by Jan. Will those hours still count toward my application, or do I need the new 2027 forms too? Has anyone gotten clarification from the BACB? Thank you

I’m working on completing my BCBA fieldwork supervision notes and I have a question for those who have already been through the process.

How much detail does the BACB actually expect in supervision documentation? I want my notes to accurately reflect the unrestricted activities I completed, but I’m also trying to avoid over-documenting. Help please!

I finally passed my BCBA exam! 🥳 I filled out my application and did finger prints the day after I submitted. Am I missing anything? How long does a it take in the state of TN to receive your license?

I just completed my RBT training and I still haven't found a job. It's hard as I don't have a driver's license and am not a full RBT yet. Where can I find someone to do my competency assessment and how soon do I need to do it? Also where can I find an ABA clinic that doesn't require a driver's license and actually returns calls and reaches out about applications

This is a total crazy thought, but let's indulge it just for a second. What if the BCBA exam is different depending on the person taking it? Is that really a zero percent possibility?
