The Board-Certified Behavior Analyst, or BCBA, has the unique job of discovering function(s) of behavior via direct and indirect assessments and tests and then using this information to create behavior intervention plans and/or skill acquisition programs for each individual child on their case. The BCBA oversees the RBT directly working with your child and ensures that programs are being run according to the specific instructions they intended. Your child’s BCBA is your main contact point for any concerns or comments regarding treatments and programs, your child’s behavior (new behaviors, concerns for safety, etc.), or progress. BCBA’s have received a graduate level degree or higher, earned a set amount of hours (1,000 or above) of supervision and practice, and successfully passed the BACB BCBA exam.
