More about Supervised Fieldwork
Casa de ABA is establishing a collaborative initiative with local universities that offer Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) degree programs. The primary goal of this collaboration is to provide students with the unique opportunity to assume a dual role as Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) and Student Analysts within the field of ABA. This innovative approach aims to enable these students to accumulate the required supervised hours while also receiving a paycheck.
Traditionally, students pursuing careers in ABA have had to invest out-of-pocket expenses for supervision and mentorship in order to fulfill the prerequisites for sitting for the board certification exam. However, Casa de ABA's collaboration with local universities seeks to eliminate this financial burden for students.
Under this program, participating students will have the chance to gain hands-on experience as RBTs, working directly with clients and implementing ABA principles and techniques. Simultaneously, they will take on the role of Student Analysts, allowing them to accumulate supervised hours needed for their professional development. This dual role provides a win-win situation, as students gain valuable experience and financial support while Casa de ABA benefits from their contributions to the field.
This collaborative effort represents an innovative approach to addressing the challenges that students pursuing ABA careers face in terms of supervision and mentorship costs. Casa de ABA's commitment to supporting the next generation of ABA practitioners showcases a dedication to both the field and its future professionals.
