Here’s What You Need to Know
Educational Requirements

- All mentees must be an active Registered Behavior Technician.
Fieldwork Hours
- Completion of 2,000 fieldwork hours is mandatory for all mentees. These hours are crucial for gaining hands-on experience and ensuring readiness for professional practice. A portion of these hours involves overlapping with experienced staff members to ensure proficiency in Behavior Skills Training (BST) and supervision.
- Note, some mentees may have a smaller hour requirement based on their fieldwork type.
Practical Experience
- You can earn indirect hours as a mentee by completing weekly overlaps and providing case assistance. This approach is designed to achieve clinical excellence and provide essential fieldwork experience through telehealth. By engaging in real-world scenarios, our mentees gain the skills and confidence to begin their journey as clinicians immediately.
- Our Child, we believe in fostering an environment where future behavior analysts can thrive, continuously learn, and ultimately contribute to the field with competence and compassion.
- The overarching goal of the mentorship program is for the potential BCBAs and BCaBAs to take their exam and feel prepared to be a Clinical Supervisor.
