• Direct client sessions

• Supervision (provided and received)

• Treatment plan development and writing

• Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) writing

management, or other clinical tasks assigned by a supervisor)

Non-billable activities include:

• Checking and responding to email

• Organizing toys, materials, or other physical clinic resources

• General administrative tasks not tied to a specific client or client material

Clinical Fellows are rarely expected to use non-billable time, given the breadth of activities

classified as billable above.
