Remote Licensed BCBA Supervision FAQs

Yes. Real caregiver clients are provided through our Virginia ABA practice, so you do not need to locate your own client or obtain an RBT position to participate.

We assign one primary caregiver-client. Matching depends on scheduling, service location, availability, and the required state authorization held by your licensed BCBA. You can focus on developing your skills instead of searching for a placement.

If your assigned caregiver client stops participating, we have backup caregiver clients specifically for this situation. We’ll work with you to arrange a replacement match.

Clients Provided costs $150 $125 per supervised hour with the limited-time holiday offer for new students only. We provide your caregiver client.

• Both tracks support 60–160 total fieldwork hours per month.
• The new-student holiday rate stays $125 per supervised hour throughout that range.

Your total monthly cost depends on your standard or concentrated fieldwork track and planned monthly fieldwork hours. The calculator uses the 2027 framework: 5% supervision for standard fieldwork and 7.5% for concentrated fieldwork.

Group supervision is optional. Earn back 25% of your contracted hourly supervision rate for each eligible full hour of group supervision you attend and participate in.

You may complete up to half of your monthly supervised hours in groups, using full one-hour sessions. For example, completing 3 supervised hours allows up to 1 group hour; completing 4.5 supervised hours allows up to 2.

Applied Behavior Analysts processes earned amounts separately.

Clients, individualized licensed 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.

Your supervision fees fully fund caregiver training. Families pay $0, and their insurance is not billed for that support.

Compare the monthly estimate for the same planned fieldwork hours and supervision track. Check whether each program provides a client or requires you to arrange your own.

At Applied Behavior Analysts, the Clients Provided holiday offer is $125 per supervised hour for new students. Under the 2027 standard framework, 60 monthly fieldwork hours requires 3 supervised hours on the standard track: $375/month. You pay for supervised hours, not every fieldwork hour.

If you complete those 3 supervised hours, up to 1 full hour may be completed in a group. Earn back 25% of your contracted hourly supervision rate for each eligible full hour of group supervision you attend and participate in. Group supervision is optional, and Applied Behavior Analysts processes earned amounts separately.

That fee includes a caregiver client from our Virginia-based practice, individualized licensed BCBA guidance, client-specific unrestricted activities, review of recorded caregiver meetings, and fieldwork documentation support.

When comparing programs, check the monthly fee, included services, eligible group hours, and the contracted hourly rate used to calculate the 25% earned back.

Our online licensed BCBA supervision program is fully remote. Clients Provided includes a caregiver match and an assigned licensed BCBA. Before you begin, we confirm your expected monthly fieldwork hours, supervision commitment, and scheduling needs. Your fieldwork activities are tailored to your caregiver client’s needs.

You record your caregiver meetings for asynchronous observation. Your licensed BCBA reviews the recording afterward and provides individualized feedback during a separate, live supervision meeting. We do not use real-time client observation.

Recording and secure-upload guidance is provided before you begin.

The BACB allows the required observation with a client to occur asynchronously through recorded video. Supervisor-trainee contacts, however, must occur in real time over phone or video to count as supervision contacts.

Yes. Our caregiver-training practice provides structured, practice-approved activities that can be applied across the families we serve. You tailor the work to your assigned caregiver, with guidance from your ongoing licensed BCBA.

The program includes 25 tailored unrestricted activities, including research, data analysis, caregiver coaching, and planning. Each can be adapted to any caregiver in our program. The activities give you a practical foundation for a full monthly fieldwork plan. You can also propose your own client-specific activities and request your licensed BCBA’s approval before completing them for fieldwork.

Activities remain part of your individualized supervision plan.

Trainee supervision fees fully fund caregiver training through our practice. Families pay $0 for that support, and we do not bill their insurance. Future BCBAs complete meaningful fieldwork under licensed BCBA supervision.

Families do not need insurance, a qualifying diagnosis, prior authorization, or the ability to pay. Applied Behavior Analysts was built to address two problems together: families need access to behavior science, and future BCBAs need supervised opportunities to learn how to use it responsibly.

No. The caregiver is the client. Trainees meet remotely with the caregiver and do not provide direct therapy to the caregiver’s child through this program.

Caregivers may be parents, teachers, daycare providers, behavior specialists, or people supporting loved ones across the lifespan. A diagnosis is not guaranteed or required. Under licensed BCBA supervision, targets are chosen and operationally defined. Data is collected on the caregiver’s behavior, not on the caregiver’s child or anyone else. The data is then graphed and analyzed, and the plan is adjusted based on the results.

Restricted hours generally involve directly implementing therapeutic or instructional procedures with a client. Unrestricted hours are activities that reflect what a licensed BCBA does, such as assessment, data analysis, treatment planning, caregiver training, research, and behavior-analytic decision-making.

Our fully remote caregiver-training program provides 100% unrestricted fieldwork. Restricted fieldwork is not required by this program. Your assigned licensed BCBA will help you plan client-specific activities and documentation that meet the requirements applicable to you.

No. You do not need an RBT credential or an RBT position to participate. If you need a client as well as supervision, our Clients Provided program matches you with a caregiver through our Virginia practice and provides individualized remote licensed BCBA supervision.

Your fieldwork must still meet the degree, coursework, activity, supervision, documentation, and eligibility requirements that apply to you when you submit your BCBA application.

Students can participate entirely online from anywhere in the United States. Our practice is based in Virginia. We confirm your caregiver match and licensed BCBA before onboarding.

Availability depends on the candidate’s location, the assigned client’s service location, scheduling, and where the supervising licensed BCBA is authorized to practice. We match clients and supervisors before onboarding.

Your licensed 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 behavior-analytic decision-making. You receive clear feedback about what went well, what should change, and what to do next with your assigned client.

Unrestricted BCBA fieldwork focuses on the work a behavior analyst does for a specific client. Depending on your client’s needs and your supervisor’s approval, activities may include:

• Conducting assessments and researching literature related to your client’s needs.
• Analyzing data and the environmental factors that affect behavior.
• Developing caregiver-support and treatment plans.
• Creating caregiver-training resources.
• Preparing for caregiver meetings and reviewing them afterward.
• Reviewing recordings of your own performance.
• Writing behavior-analytic documentation.
• Taking part in planning and decision-making.
• Receiving and applying feedback from your licensed BCBA.

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.

At least 60% of your total fieldwork must be unrestricted. Your individual monthly percentages can vary.

It may be possible, depending on your schedule and the availability of your caregiver and licensed BCBA. In our Clients Provided program, caregiver meetings and live licensed BCBA supervision meetings are scheduled separately around each person’s availability.

Many client-specific unrestricted activities can be completed independently during the day, evening, or weekend, with your licensed BCBA’s guidance.

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. We confirm your expected monthly hours, supervision commitment, and scheduling needs before you begin.

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.

Yes. You can complete BCBA supervision hours online through a remote supervision arrangement that meets BACB fieldwork requirements.
