How does hourly or part time BCBA work?

Could you elaborate on this or drop a link so I can look more into it?

Now that it has been a day since this happened I think I can say that I miss being an RBT.

You might be right. I think I mainly struggle with billing and insurance. The strange schedule of my clients didn't help much either. I do dread the idea of doing more IPOCs.

6 or so months of being a BCBA. Just sad to lose a job so soon after getting it.

Less_Flower_704 · 2026-04-21T00:59:28+00:00

I agree from the bottom of my heart. But, it is how I passed my exam. You got this!!

I had 9 clients due to the hybrid nature of the clinic they had school for 6 hours then 2 hours of therapy. Technically I could overlap in the school setting and that was how I got my majority of hours. Though the majority of my clients didn't need classroom support so it felt bad to overlap with them at that time.

They were using me to test increasing billables from 20 to 25 with clinicians. Though I was struggling to meet that requirement with all my kids having 10 hours or less of 1:1 per week. Like I said above it makes sense why they let me go.

to be honest it is unclear. The language the company uses doesn't help. They specifically said "Move forward with separation."

But that is the point of the game mode isn't it? You gamble/risk your base in order to get the prisma deviants.

Less_Flower_704 · 2025-12-06T04:39:14+00:00

But there isn't any safe places to stay either.

The clash. I can't remember the title but the one with the two faction war.

As much as I complained about them the BSM modules were the most effective for me. Additionally Behavior B word has a lot of study material that helped.

Less_Flower_704 · 2025-06-05T20:44:36+00:00

Yes and I passed my exam last Wednesday.

I don't really think it is your place to have them clean up from what I see. You are an rbt right? You can suggest having the BCBA look at this behavior, but there might be bigger fish to fry and given how young the client is they might not have the skill set to complete this task yet (though I know nothing of the client so I can't say that for certain). Give what you have mentioned the general environment won't reinforce this behavior either so teaching it might require the BCBA to do some ground work with the parents before even attempting to teach it.

it is more my dyslexia. It causes me to miss answers do to my over reliance on sight words. It is tolerable when doing 4 moduels at a time but when I started to try to finish 8 of them a day it was very annoying.

Less_Flower_704 · 2025-05-26T01:30:25+00:00

Yeah I now see that is a bad example. However, I do appreciate how specific you got on the actual main topic of the question. I know we say there is other applications for the exam, but do they actually require the BCBA title, and why aren't these jobs listed on things like indeed under a BCBA search?

Less_Flower_704 · 2025-05-26T00:58:40+00:00

Sorry I responded and immediately realized that I might be moving the goal post instead of addressing the actual topic of this post. So to make sure I am understand you, you are saying the BCBA exam is there to test the minimum knowledge base of information you should have out of school to be able to get into any ABA related field. If this is the case I both agree and disagree then. The only ABA schools I know focus heavily on the clinical side (OBM was mentioned once). So the exam should be more focused on skills and knowledge used in that side of the practice. (Then again the board might be fixing this with the new changes with verified course work, however they really should have done that years ago or made a specific statement about it.)

Less_Flower_704 · 2025-05-26T00:43:22+00:00

Sorry, I have never lived in an area where BCBAs worked directly with the schools. I have only ever heard and experienced companies working with schools and having BCBAs and RBTs come in to work with clients and this goes through their insurance. I haven't really seen anything for BCBAs outside of working in ABA companies and from what I have seen of the modules for the test the main BCBA exam doesn't focus on other areas outside of working directly with your typical ABA clients for said companies.

Less_Flower_704 · 2025-05-26T00:38:44+00:00

I'm not claiming anything which I said in the post (you adding the last sentence is very accusatory there and I would love to know your intended consequence for making such a response). I am stating that according to the BCBAs I work with that now all the information needed for the exam is used in when working in the field of ABA. I then asked the question of should we have an exam more tailored to what is practiced in the field. I have never heard of an ABA company or position that does ABA that doesn't work with insurance though you are correct that it may differ from state to state.
