Do I Need to Find My Own Client for BCBA Fieldwork?

No. If you complete your fieldwork through our program, you do not have to find your own client. We provide the client, and your fieldwork is built around real work connected to that client.

How Clients Are Provided

You do not have to recruit your own clients.

If you are offered a supervision slot with us, you are provided with a real client. Your supervision fee funds the service so the client pays $0.

What Your Fieldwork Looks Like

Your assigned client gives your fieldwork a real clinical context. Unrestricted activities are tied to actual client needs and may include assessment, data analysis, caregiver training, treatment planning, research, and clinical decision-making under BCBA supervision.

What Happens After You’re Assigned a Client

Once you are assigned a client, your fieldwork activities are built around that client’s actual needs. You meet with the client or caregiver remotely as required, complete related unrestricted activities between meetings, and receive individualized supervision and feedback from a BCBA.

What If I Don’t Have a Client?

Not having access to a client does not necessarily mean you have to postpone your fieldwork. Some supervision arrangements require trainees to bring their own client, while others provide access to clients as part of the fieldwork experience. Before choosing a supervisor, ask exactly how client access works and what will happen if a client becomes unavailable during your fieldwork.

At Applied Behavior Analysts, clients are provided as part of our remote fieldwork supervision program. You can learn more about how the program works on our Remote BCBA Supervision page.
