BOARD CERTIFIED BEHAVIOR ANALYST SUPERVISION
The need for well-trained, well-supervised behavior analysts is rising. With
the growth of on-line graduate BCBA courses, the need for distance
supervision services has increased as well.
Dr. Martinez can help you meet your Supervised Independent Fieldwork
requirements to become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst or Board
Certified Associate Behavior Analyst.
The Behavior Analysis Certification Board (BACB) regulations allow distance supervision. A candidate’s applied behavior analysis sessions can be videotaped or observed on web-camera, and telephone and email supervision is acceptable.
To view the BACB New Experience Standards and Supervised Experience please visit the BACB website.
The BACB requirements may be fulfilled via 3 different categories:
• 1) Supervised Independent Fieldwork
• 2) Practicum
• 3) Intensive Practicum
RCM Notebook offers the first option. If you need “Supervised Independent Fieldwork” please contact Dr. Rosa C. Martinez at RCMPHD1@verizon.net or go to the BACB certificant registry
The Supervised Independent Supervision may be fulfilled either locally or via distance supervision….
It is always preferable that you locate a local BCBA as your supervisor, however since that is not always possible, a distance supervision can be granted. As technology continues to become enhanced, video recording is made easier, and distance supervision can better approximate in situ. Of course, having a BCBA that can come on site with you will allow for a much better supervisory experience. However, if you cannot find an experienced BCBA locally, then distance supervision is a great option that is now allowing applicants get supervised worldwide and qualify for behavior analyst certification.
