You do not need to find your own client when you choose our Clients Provided option. We match you with a caregiver through our Virginia practice, and your fieldwork focuses on that caregiver’s needs.
Clients Provided is BCBA fieldwork supervision for students working toward BCBA certification. You do not need an RBT credential or an RBT position to participate. Your fieldwork must still meet the BACB requirements that apply to you.
If you already have a caregiver to work with, you can choose Bring Your Own Client instead.

How Clients Are Provided
You do not have to recruit your own clients.
With Clients Provided, we assign one primary caregiver client through our Virginia-based practice. Matching depends on scheduling, service location, availability, and where your BCBA is licensed or otherwise authorized to practice. Your supervision fees fund the caregiver’s services, so the caregiver pays $0.
How much does Clients Provided supervision cost?
Clients Provided is $125 per supervised hour for new students under our holiday offer. Your fee is based on supervised hours.
For example, under the 2027 standard framework, 60 planned fieldwork hours per month requires 3 supervised hours: $375 per month, before optional group-supervision credits. Your planned hours and selected track determine your monthly estimate.
What Your Fieldwork Looks Like
Our program includes 25 tailored activities connected to your caregiver client’s goals. For example, with your BCBA’s guidance, you might identify a caregiver’s goal, review relevant research, define and measure caregiver behavior, analyze the data, and use what you learn to plan caregiver coaching.
Your BCBA helps you refine the work and determine which activities qualify for fieldwork.
What Happens After You’re Assigned a Client
Your fieldwork activities are built around your caregiver client’s needs. You meet remotely with your caregiver client and record the meeting for your BCBA to review afterward. You receive live, individual supervision from your assigned BCBA, who reviews your work with you and provides individualized feedback. Group supervision is always optional.
Between meetings, you complete client-specific unrestricted activities with your BCBA’s guidance. Caregiver meetings and supervision meetings are scheduled separately around each person’s availability.
Former Applied Behavior Analysts trainees Ariana Young and Catherine Castro earned their BCBA certifications and returned to the practice as colleagues. Meet our returning BCBA colleagues.
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. 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.
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.
