First Year as a BCBA: From Chaos to Calm

The first year working as a BCBA can be an overwhelming transition from client work to the many roles of a BCBA. Learn how to handle the different aspects of your job including insurance, supervision, evaluations, treatment plans and parent training.

“Help- I’m brand new! What do I do now?” If you’re a new BCBA, you’re most likely familiar with the overwhelming feeling that comes from dealing with the multiple unfamiliar roles that you now play. Whereas until now, you were dealing primarily with focused client work, your current position is much more all-encompassing. Hear practical tips and helpful mindsets from Miriam Yankelowitz, an experienced BCBA who has a very supervisory role in supporting BCBAs. She’ll clearly walk you through all the different aspects of your work including dealing with insurance companies, supervision, performing evaluations, creating treatment plans and parent training.
