BCaBA® (Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst®)

An undergraduate-level certification that practices behavior analysis under BCBA® supervision, with its own fieldwork requirement.

What it means

A Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst® (BCaBA®) is an undergraduate-level BACB® certification. BCaBAs® practice under the ongoing supervision of a BCBA® and must themselves be supervised. Like the BCBA®, eligibility includes coursework, supervised fieldwork, and an exam, with its own hour requirements.

Example

A BCaBA works on treatment teams delivering and supporting behavior-analytic services while supervised by a BCBA.

Where it trips people up

BCBA® and BCaBA® fieldwork share the same structure (supervisory periods, the 60/40 rule, verification forms) but differ in specifics — always confirm the requirements for the exact credential you’re pursuing.
