However, I do not keep track of my independent hours, and the website I have attached mentions I should.Who administers it? A BCBA or other QHCP. I keep track of my supervision hours on an excel spreadsheet (with everything included in the audit chart). My question is for the unique documentation system. I have my signed contract with my supervisors, a filled out BACB experience tracker, and MVF's. I thought it was helpful how they mentioned what exactly we would have to submit in case of an audit. I've been doing some research on the best way to keep track of my supervised independent fieldwork BCBA hours and I came across these handy resources: The Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis (JABA) Society for Quantitative Analyses of BehaviorĪssociation for Behavior Analysis InternationalĪssociation for Contextual Behavioral ScienceĪssociation for Behavior Analysis International® (ABAI)Īpplied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Employment OpportunitiesĪssociation of Professional Behavior Analysts Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior This is a subreddit for all things behaviorist: the experimental analysis of behavior, applied behavior analysis, behavior therapy, the philosophy of radical behaviorism, etc.Ĭommon misrepresentations of behavior analysis
