No, this is a common misconception. Per the BACB, a "client" is defined as "any person (or group of people) for whom behavior-analytic services are appropriate. However, the trainee may not be related to the client, be the client's primary caregiver, or be related to the client's primary caregiver." A diagnosis is not required, and the science of ABA is for everyone!
No. The coaching relationship is non-reciprocal to reduce bias and role confusion. You'll coach one partner and be coached by a different one. This structure supports clearer boundaries, stronger data, and a more authentic client experience.
No. This is not a supervision experience, this is a supplemental program designed to help you gain BACB-aligned applied experience. Your supervisor remains responsible for approving activities and overseeing your fieldwork hours.
While there's no financial lock-in, we ask for a minimum 3-month commitment to support ethical continuity of care — aligned with BCBA ethics on not abandoning clients. You may withdraw at any time, but we require a 2-week notice to implement an appropriate fade-out plan with your triad.
Yes, absolutely. All participants are required to sign a Client Observation Consent Form which allows supervisors to attend sessions live or view the recordings to ensure adequate supervision.
Not at all! This is for anyone desiring to build skill fluency and confidence in applying the science of ABA across traditional and non-traditional settings.
You're in the right place! This is the perfect opportunity to work 1:1 with clients and integrate ACT processes as a supplemental intervention. We have an entire Resource Hub dedicated to enhancing your understanding of the six core processes. In this space we focus on equipping you with a clear understanding on how to integrate ACT into your clinical practice while staying within your scope as a BCBA.
We ask for a minimum one-month trial before requesting a re-match. If barriers arise, we'll support troubleshooting first. If a re-match is needed, we'll do our best to reassign you, but timelines may vary depending on availability.
You'll need to identify, or be open to identifying, a specific, observable behavior that you'd like to change or strengthen. It should be:
This might include but is not limited to:
You do not need to come in with an operational definition, just a meaningful area of change. Your coach will guide the assessment and help shape it into a valid target.
Yes. You are not paying for access to a client. You are paying for access to as structured, ethically guided program that includes:
All participants voluntarily opt in as both coach and client, and all hours must still be approved by your supervisor. This program supports — but does not replace — supervision.
