✦ FOR BCBA CANDIDATES
Unrestricted hours:
the part nobody tells you.
You’re probably already doing meaningful unrestricted work—you’re just not recognizing or logging it. This guide helps you spot the clinical work hiding in an ordinary week, bring a real plan to your supervisor, and leave with a clear deliverable.
INSIDE THE FULL GUIDE
Ideas are good.
A plan is better.
Go beyond a list with practical examples, scripts, planning tools, remote-supervision support, and clear ways to turn clinical thinking into work your supervisor can review.
Look across the whole caseload.
Spot patterns, stalled programs, and authorization concerns—then bring your BCBA one useful caseload summary.
Mastered does not mean forgotten.
Plan maintenance probes, graph what is holding, flag regression, and recommend the next move.
Use scripts that help you name the clinical need, propose the activity and deliverable, and ask for approval before you begin.
Your supervisor determines whether an activity qualifies and must verify your fieldwork. This guide helps you recognize and discuss potential activities—it does not replace current BACB requirements, supervision, documentation, or approval.
