Yes, I would attach a second FVF with the remainder of the supervisors listed. The BACB requires you to use the current form, so don't look for a different form with more fields. Make sure you're using the most recent form and are downloading it from their website. I haven't had this experience, though so I would recommend contacting the BACB directly to make sure your form meets their expectations. It's better and easier to ask the question before submitting the form than if they reject it.

@@masteraba4260 So, instead of creating a separate sheet with just the additional supervisors names for the main supervisor to sign, you would create two forms?

@@eshapiro9585 I recommend you contact the BACB to make sure you do it the way they want you to. It's been my experience that they don't want you to create new forms, they want you to use their forms. That leads me to believe that you should use a second form if there are more supervisors in your experience than fit on the first form, but I don't work for the BACB and I haven't encountered this before.

This is a great question. I don't have a lot of experience with the concentrated fieldwork. The purpose of the concentrated fieldwork is to accumulate your experience faster. if you look in the handbook, you need 1,500 hours vs the 2,000 hours. You only need to multiply by 1.33 if your experience is split between the different types of experiences. Ripley is a reliable source and is likely accurate, but I would email the BACB to confirm that you're calculating your hours correctly. All of us do our best to interpret their rules, but it's clear we don't all understand them the same way.

I think that's a great use for this framework! When staff participate in creating goals for themselves, they are more motivated to actually participate in training.

Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad you found it helpful!

Thank you! I'm glad you found it helpful.

The documentation can be complicated and confusing. It gets easier as you get some practice. I recommend asking your supervisor for some advice and support.

The next step is to teach the child how to get what he wants in a better way. In this example, the child wants his father's attention so you would want to teach him to ask for his attention in any way that he can. For example, if he speaks, we might teach him to say "play with me." What's critical to making it work is the adult being flexible. If we teach him to say "play with me," then the father has to be flexible and stop what he's doing to play with his son. It disrupts what the father is trying to do, but if the challenging behavior (in this example jumping) is more effective in getting his father's attention than communication, it won't work. This is a simplified version of the next step. It's critical to get advice from someone who can observe the behavior as it's happening to account for all the possible variables.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I appreciate your perspective.

You will complete a separate FVF for each organization. I hope this helps!

Great questions. I recommend contacting the BACB to be sure but based on my experience, yes, you will enter yourself under both sections, the "Supervisors Who Provided Supervision at the Organization" AND under the "Responsible Supervisor and Trainee Attestation" sections. Also, it's fine to include more supervision hours than the minimum as long as the numbers still align with the minimum for supervised hours and for unrestricted activities and you don't exceed the maximum number of hours per month. Make sure if you're adding more than 2000 hours that you have more than 13 months of supervision experience (less than 130 hours per month). I hope that makes sense!

Medical necessity is the criteria that insurance companies use to determine if they will pay for the service. Many insurance companies, especially Medicaid will reject any goal that includes the word "tolerates," stating that "tolerating" something isn't considered medically necessary. In this video, I'm referring to goals that could possibly be medically necessary but might be rejected anyway, specifically a child tolerating an adult washing his hair, tolerating an adult brushing his teeth, or tolerating a hair cut. It's impossible to go from not even allowing an adult to do these tasks to teaching him to do them for himself without first teaching him to tolerate an adult doing them. Simply changing the language in the goal to make it about teaching him to do it for himself fixes the problem for everything except a haircut. Rephrasing the goal to state that he will "sit" for a haircut or that he will "accept" an adult cutting his hair without engaging in target behaviors worked to get this goal approved.

Hi Samantha! Good question! Yes, you should split that time in your tracker to specify the supervised and individual hours. It's best to keep all of your documentation as accurate as possible. I hope this helps! Amelia

@@masteraba4260 thanks!

@@samanthaparker627 You're welcome!

If all of your hours for the specific experience met the criteria for concentrated fieldwork hours, you should enter in the actual number and check the concentrated fieldwork box. The multiplier is to help you figure out how many hours you need in total if your experience is split between concentrated and supervised fieldwork. I hope this helps!

Hi Marquise! Thank you so much for your feedback! I'm glad our resources helped you accomplish your goal. Congratulations on becoming a BCBA! 🎉

Hi Estania! The prorated box should only be checked if your supervision experience only occurred for part of any of the months (i.e. you took a 2 week long vacation or started or ended your supervision experience in the middle of the month). It's about individual months, not your overall supervision hours. I hope this helps!

I'm not sure I completely understand your question, but I will do my best to answer. Let me know if this doesn't answer the question you have. The BACB allows you to collect only individual hours for your entire experience. They limit the amount of group supervision you have. So you can have all your hours in a month be individual, but you can't have all your hours be group supervision. If you record group supervision hours, you must also record individual supervision as well. The BACB also regulates restricted and unrestricted hours. You must have some restricted hours each month to fulfill your observation requirement, but you can't have only restricted activities. No more than 40% of your total experience can be restricted activities. I hope this helps. I know it's a confusing process. Your BCBA supervisor should be able to help you understand the requirements.
