According to industry standards and the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB), a BCBA must provide direct, ongoing oversight of the RBT implementing your child’s therapy.
The supervision frequency requirements include:
- Minimum supervision percentage: BCBAs are required to provide supervision for at least 5% of the total monthly service hours delivered by an RBT.
- Minimum monthly duration: There must be a minimum of one hour of supervision per client per month.
This oversight ensures treatment fidelity and allows the BCBA to observe sessions, model techniques, and provide feedback. For example, if your child receives 20 hours of direct therapy, the BCBA will spend at least one hour supervising that work. These sessions can take place in person or through secure remote modalities and are documented to maintain clinical transparency.
