Don’t forget to document all other relevant information along the way (see the BCBA or BCaBA Handbook for additional information). By the end of the month, you’ll want to double check that you’ve documented the total number of individual and group supervision hours you accrued, the total number of supervision contacts that occurred, and the total number of observations-with-clients that took place that month.You can find a more comprehensive description of acceptable activities in the relevant BCBA or BCaBA Handbook. You should meet with your supervisor throughout the month to help ensure that you’re gaining the skills necessary to demonstrate competence in applied behavior analysis. Once you’ve found a qualified supervisor, signed your supervision contract, and established your documentation system, you’ll likely begin accruing hours by performing both restricted and unrestricted activities.

First, we recommend that you complete the Fieldwork Checklist and Tip Sheet, as it includes helpful guidance on getting started.Here are a few pointers to get you started, but be sure to check out the Documenting Fieldwork Hours video for an in-depth look at how to best document your fieldwork: Q: What might it look like to document my fieldwork?Ī: This is a great question-and there’s a lot to consider. Don’t wait until the Final Fieldwork Verification Form must be signed for your supervisor to review all of your hours! At a minimum, your supervisor should review all of your hours for each supervisory period before they sign the Monthly Fieldwork Verification Form. Q: Who is responsible for tracking my hours to make sure they meet the requirements?Ī: Both you and your supervisor should be tracking your fieldwork hours. However, please keep in mind that regardless of who develops and maintains the documentation system, both you and your supervisor are required to keep copies of all relevant documentation. Q: Who should develop and maintain my documentation system?Ī: You and your supervisor can collaborate to develop a documentation system, or you can develop it on your own.
