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.
