What is a BCBA Intern?

A BCBA Intern is an individual who is in the process of completing the required supervised fieldwork to become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). During this internship, the intern works under the supervision of a qualified BCBA, gaining practical experience in applying the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to help clients, often individuals with autism or other developmental disorders. This role involves conducting assessments, implementing behavior intervention plans, collecting data, and participating in team meetings. The internship is a crucial step in meeting the certification requirements set by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB).
