Fieldwork tracking your ABA program can actually see

FieldworkABA gives graduate programs and practicum coordinators a clear view of each student’s supervised fieldwork. Standardize how a cohort logs restricted and unrestricted hours, prepares monthly verification forms, and collects supervisor sign-offs — so students stay organized, build good documentation habits, and stay BACB®-ready from day one.

Every student tracks fieldwork differently, and the program can’t see any of it

ABA graduate programs place students into supervised fieldwork across many sites and supervisors. But once students leave campus, their hours live in personal spreadsheets, screenshots, and shared drives. Coordinators only find out a student is behind when a monthly form is missing or a placement is nearly over.

No two students track the same way

Every student invents their own spreadsheet or method, so records across a cohort never look alike and are hard to compare or review.

Faculty have no visibility

Once students are placed, coordinators lose sight of who is on track, whose hours are stalling, and whose monthly forms still need a supervisor signature.

Monthly forms slip through the cracks

Restricted and unrestricted hours, observation minutes, and monthly verification forms are easy to mishandle when students are learning the requirements for the first time.

The student–site handoff is messy

Connecting each student to the right site supervisor for review and sign-off often happens over email and text, with no shared record of what was approved.

Bad habits start early

Students who never learn to document fieldwork carefully carry those habits into certification — and into their first jobs supervising others.

Program review is a scramble

When it’s time for internal review or accreditation, pulling clean fieldwork documentation from scattered student files takes weeks.

How FieldworkABA helps

One consistent system for your whole cohort — with oversight for faculty

FieldworkABA gives every student the same structured way to track supervised fieldwork, while giving coordinators and faculty the visibility they need to keep the program on track.

Program visibility

Give practicum coordinators and faculty a clearer view of each student’s fieldwork progress, supervision status, and outstanding monthly records — without chasing individual spreadsheets.

Standardized cohort tracking

Every student in the cohort logs hours, categorizes restricted and unrestricted fieldwork, and prepares monthly verification forms the same way, so records are consistent across the program.

Monthly verification support

FieldworkABA helps students prepare monthly verification forms from their logged fieldwork and supervisor review, so the forms are ready when they’re due.

Easier student–supervisor handoff

Students invite their site supervisors to review entries and complete sign-offs in one place. Supervisors are always free, so connecting to placement sites is simple.

Good habits, built in

Logging fieldwork consistently and preparing forms as they go helps students build documentation habits that keep them organized and BACB®-ready.

Clean records for program review

Fieldwork entries, supervision, and monthly records stay organized in one place, giving your program cleaner documentation for internal review and accreditation.

How it works

Get your cohort tracking the same way in four steps

1

Students start free

Each student creates a free FieldworkABA account and sets their profile and application date so tracking matches the standards that apply to them.

2

They log fieldwork consistently

Students log restricted and unrestricted hours, observation time, and supervision in one shared format across the whole cohort.

3

Site supervisors review & sign

Students invite their site supervisors to review entries, give feedback, and complete monthly verification sign-offs at no cost.

4

Faculty keep visibility

Coordinators can see progress, spot students who need support early, and draw on clean records when it’s time for program review.

A program solution, tailored to you

Want more than individual student accounts?

Many programs want a shared, customized setup — cohort grouping, coordinator dashboards, and reporting built around how their fieldwork program actually runs. FieldworkABA offers a customized program and organization solution for exactly that.

FAQ

Questions from universities & practicum programs

Can a university program give faculty visibility into student fieldwork?
Yes. FieldworkABA helps practicum coordinators and faculty see each student’s fieldwork progress, supervision status, and monthly records so they can support students earlier instead of waiting until the end of a term.
Does FieldworkABA help a whole cohort track fieldwork the same way?
Yes. FieldworkABA gives every student in a cohort one consistent way to log hours, categorize restricted and unrestricted fieldwork, and prepare monthly verification forms, so records look the same across the program.
Can students track fieldwork with site supervisors outside the university?
Yes. Students can invite their site supervisors to review entries and complete sign-offs. Supervisors are free, which makes the handoff between students and placement sites easier to manage.
Does FieldworkABA help students build good documentation habits?
Yes. By logging fieldwork consistently and preparing monthly verification forms as they go, students build documentation habits that keep them organized and BACB®-ready throughout their fieldwork.
Can FieldworkABA produce clean records for program review or accreditation?
Yes. Because fieldwork entries, supervision, and monthly records stay organized in one place, programs have cleaner documentation to draw on for internal review and accreditation reporting.
Is FieldworkABA only for BCBA® students?
No. FieldworkABA supports both BCBA® and BCaBA® supervised fieldwork, so programs can use one system across different tracks. For pricing details, see our plans and pricing page.
