Phase-in Policy for New Experience Standards
<New
Experience Standards
New experience standards for qualifying
for the Board Certified Behavior Analyst® (BCBA®) and Board Certified
Assistant Behavior Analyst® (BCaBA®) examinations were adopted and
posted on BACB.com on March 17, 2005. The
new standards will be phased-in as follows:
IN GENERAL
Individuals may not mix
experience accumulated under the old standards with experience accumulated
under the new standards to qualify for examination – all experience
must be obtained either under
the old standards or under the new standards.
PRIOR TO JULY 1, 2006
Individuals may begin accumulating experience either under
the old experience standards or under the new experience
standards.
Individuals who begin accumulating experience under
the old standards prior to July 1, 2006 must complete
their experience under the old standards by July 1, 2007. This
means that individuals may need to accumulate their experience under
supervision rather than mentoring in order to accumulate the required amount
of experience by July 1, 2007. Individuals accumulating experience
under the old standards may use a mixture of Supervision and Mentoring
as long as they have sufficient experience by July 1, 2007.
Individuals who begin accumulating experience under
the new standards prior to July 1, 2006 will not have
the abovementioned time limits imposed on completing their experience. Individuals accumulating experience under the new
standards may use a mixture of Supervised Independent Fieldwork, Practicum,
and Intensive Practicum.
ON JULY 1, 2006 AND THEREAFTER
Individuals who begin accumulated experience after
this date must do so under the new standards. Individuals
accumulating experience under the new standards may use a mixture of
Supervised Independent Fieldwork, Practicum, and Intensive Practicum.
