1. How does remote BCBA supervision work in this program?
Our remote BCBA supervision program is fully remote. After onboarding, you are assigned a caregiver-training client through our practice and begin completing meaningful, client-specific fieldwork activities.
You record your caregiver meetings for asynchronous observation. Your BCBA reviews the recording afterward and provides individualized feedback during a separate, live supervision meeting. We do not use real-time client observation.
The BACB allows the required observation with a client to occur asynchronously through recorded video. Supervisor-trainee contacts, however, must occur in real time to count as supervision contacts.
2. Are clients provided for my BCBA fieldwork supervision?
Yes. Clients are provided through our behavior-analytic practice, so you do not need to locate your own client or obtain an RBT position to participate.
You are assigned a caregiver-training client based on scheduling, service location, availability, and where the supervising BCBA is licensed or otherwise authorized to practice. This allows you to focus on developing clinical judgment rather than searching for a fieldwork placement.
3. Can I complete 100% of my BCBA fieldwork as unrestricted activities?
Potentially, yes. Many trainees complete all or nearly all of their fieldwork through qualifying, client-specific unrestricted activities.
BCBA candidates must complete at least 60% of their total fieldwork as unrestricted activities. Restricted hours are not required, but every activity must be behavior analytic, connected to client services, and approved by your supervisor.
4. Do I need to be an RBT to participate in remote BCBA supervision?
No. You do not need an RBT credential or an RBT position to participate in our remote BCBA supervision program.
Your fieldwork must still meet the degree, coursework, activity, supervision, documentation, and eligibility requirements that apply to you when you submit your BCBA application.
5. In which states is remote BCBA supervision available?
As of August 2026, our remote BCBA fieldwork supervision program is available to candidates in 49 states.
Availability depends on the candidate’s location, the assigned client’s service location, and where the supervising BCBA is licensed or otherwise authorized to practice. We confirm state availability before onboarding.
6. How much does remote BCBA supervision cost?
Our remote BCBA supervision pricing is based on the total number of fieldwork hours you plan to complete each month:
-
60–99 monthly fieldwork hours: $125 per supervised hour
-
100 or more monthly fieldwork hours: $99 per supervised hour
Your total monthly cost depends on your standard or concentrated fieldwork track, your total monthly fieldwork hours, and the BACB requirements applicable to you.
Clients, individualized BCBA guidance, client-specific unrestricted activities, asynchronous review of recorded caregiver meetings, supervision contracts, monthly forms, documentation guidance, and final fieldwork verification documents are included.
7. How are supervision and asynchronous observation individualized?
Your BCBA asynchronously reviews your recorded caregiver meetings, evaluates your client-specific work, and provides feedback based on your individual strengths and learning needs.
Guidance may address caregiver coaching, assessment, research, data analysis, treatment planning, documentation, communication, and clinical decision-making. You receive clear feedback about what went well, what should change, and what to do next with your assigned client.
8. What unrestricted BCBA fieldwork activities can I complete?
Your unrestricted BCBA fieldwork may include:
-
Conducting assessments
-
Researching relevant literature connected to client needs
-
Analyzing data and environmental variables
-
Developing caregiver-support and treatment plans
-
Creating caregiver-training resources
-
Preparing for and reviewing caregiver meetings
-
Reviewing recordings of your own performance
-
Writing clinical documentation
-
Participating in clinical planning and decision-making
-
Receiving and applying individualized BCBA feedback
Every fieldwork activity must be behavior analytic, client specific, and approved by your supervisor. The BACB determines whether activities count based on their context and relationship to client services, not merely the name of the activity, BACB, 2026.
9. How are remote supervision meetings and fieldwork scheduled?
Caregiver meetings and BCBA supervision meetings are scheduled separately around each person’s availability.
The amount of required supervision and number of monthly contacts depend on your fieldwork track, total monthly fieldwork hours, and the BACB requirements applicable to you.
Many unrestricted activities can be completed independently during the day, evening, or weekend. We confirm your expected monthly hours, supervision commitment, and scheduling needs before you begin.
10. How does the program support BACB documentation and audit readiness?
We provide a supervision contract, monthly verification forms, individualized tracker guidance, review of fieldwork entries, documentation feedback, and final fieldwork verification documents.
These systems are designed to help you maintain organized, accurate records and prepare for a possible BACB audit. They do not guarantee that the BACB will accept every activity, hour, form, or document.
Trainees remain responsible for maintaining accurate fieldwork records, and the BACB makes all final eligibility and audit determinations. The BACB emphasizes maintaining complete fieldwork documentation in preparation for a possible audit.
11. How can I get BCBA fieldwork hours without being an RBT?
You can get BCBA fieldwork hours without being an RBT. Our remote BCBA supervision program provides a caregiver-client you will work with, so you do not need an RBT position to participate. Trainees can complete predominantly unrestricted BCBA fieldwork hours while receiving individualized supervision from a BCBA.
12. Can I complete BCBA supervision hours online?
Yes.
You can complete BCBA supervision hours online through a remote supervision arrangement that meets BACB fieldwork requirements.
Our remote BCBA supervision program provides the client or caregiver you will work with, individualized supervision from a BCBA, and opportunities to complete predominantly unrestricted BCBA fieldwork. Supervision meetings and other eligible fieldwork activities can be completed remotely within the structure of the program.
