Format
New, green BCBAs with less than 5 years of experience make up a large proportion of supervisors and even clinical directors and still potentially have a lot to learn about designing acceptable and effective interventions, completing FBAs and other assessments and documentation, parent coaching, providing supervision, and case conceptualization. In short, they need a lot of support, and a lot of agencies are unable to offer adequate support and training to their staff. Simply having the 4 capital letters isn’t enough to make a rockstar clinician. We want to help maximize your efficiency and know-how while helping you do the most for your clients, without working harder. We can either fear the progression of technology or harness and embrace it as a means of extending our reach and doing more good work, more easily, in less time, with less error. Sounds pretty good to this BCBA!
