Questions?
Simply go through the profiles of supervisors one the site, to find a supervisor that you’d like to work with. Finding a supervisor is helpful if you’re seeking remote supervision. With remote supervision, you have more flexibility in choosing supervision with a supervisor best suited for your needs.
Finding the right supervisor for you can seem overwhelming, but you can narrow down your search by considering what type of supervision you’d like to pursue. Take a few minutes to read through some supervisors’ profiles to see their different areas of expertise and their philosophies on therapy. If you feel like your matched supervisor isn’t the right one for you, you can choose to match with a different supervisor at any time. The most important thing in BCBA supervision is if you feel comfortable with your supervisor.
Think about what you want in a supervisor. Are you looking for someone with experience in a specific area, like working with children with autism or focusing on school-based interventions? Defining your goals will help narrow your search.
Reach out to:
Former professors or colleagues who may know reputable supervisors.
Local ABA organizations or online communities where professionals often share opportunities.
Don’t settle for the first match. When you meet potential supervisors, ask:
What’s your supervisory style?
How do you provide feedback?
What’s your experience working with BCBA candidates?
Yes you can. Depending on your schedule, you might prefer:
In-Person Supervision: Great for hands-on experience.
Remote Supervision: Ideal for balancing work or school commitments while accessing broader expertise
If concerns arise, discuss them openly with your supervisor. If issues persist, seek another supervisor after fulfilling any contractual obligations.
Discuss your goals, areas of interest, supervision expectations, and fees. Ask about their approach, experience, and availability.
Choose someone who is knowledgeable, supportive, approachable, and provides constructive feedback. Consider their communication style and experience supervising professionals at your level.
Look for BCBAs with expertise in your area of interest and experience supervising others. Check the BACB directory or ask colleagues for recommendations.
The frequency depends on your experience level and certification status. BCaBAs typically need 1-2 hours per month, while aspiring BCBAs need supervision for most fieldwork hours.
Sessions typically involve reviewing client cases, discussing interventions, analyzing data, addressing ethical concerns, and providing feedback on the supervisee’s skills.
All BCaBAs require ongoing supervision to maintain their certification. Aspiring BCBAs also need supervision during their fieldwork hours.
BCBA supervision involves a qualified BCBA overseeing and guiding the work of BCaBAs and aspiring BCBAs to ensure they meet ethical and professional standards and deliver effective ABA services.
There’s no “best” time, but consider your personal readiness, study progress, and any upcoming deadlines. Remember, you must meet the eligibility requirements before scheduling your exam.
Utilize the BACB Task List, the BCBA Handbook, and reliable study guides. Consider subscribing to professional journals and joining online study groups.
The ideal study time varies depending on your background and study habits. Many recommend dedicating 3-6 months of consistent studying.
Part-time and remote opportunities are increasingly available, but the nature of the role and client needs might limit these options in some settings.
While achieving work-life balance requires effort and effective time management, flexible schedules are also possible depending on the setting and workload.
