This episode features a panel of behavior analysts and a current fieldwork trainee discussing how a multidisciplinary ABA agency structures its fieldwork candidate program. The conversation covers the distinction between restricted and unrestricted supervised hours, strategies for documenting and verifying fieldwork hours, use of self-assessment tools to identify knowledge gaps, and the difference between compliance-based supervision and relationship-based mentorship. Panelists share practical systems for tracking hours, managing monthly verification form submission, and building supervisee competencies tied to real clients.
