High Quality Supervision:
At New Summit, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive support for those pursuing certification to become Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) or Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analysts (BCaBAs). Our goal is to offer supervision for 20% of both your restricted hours (direct client work) and unrestricted hours (programming and data analysis) through experienced and compassionate BCBAs. New Summit ensures meaningful opportunities for you to complete assessments, track client progress, graph skill acquisition and behaviors, and actively engage in the direct training of staff.
Who is this for?
New Summit offers a structured supervision curriculum for individuals pursuing BCBA or BCaBA certification. To be eligible for supervision, candidates must meet the following criteria: 1) be enrolled in an accredited ABA master’s or certification program, 2) be able to complete 20-130 experience hours per month, 3) work at least 10 hours per week at New Summit, and 4) hold an active Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) certification.
​
How does this work?
New Summit offers intensive supervision to individuals working directly with clients. This supervision includes check-ins, behavior skills training, modeling new programs and skills, role-playing, providing feedback, and setting goals. In addition to 1:1 client supervision, New Summit holds group supervision sessions for individuals pursuing certification. Led by our Student Analyst Coordinator, these group sessions cover task-list items, offer opportunities to practice writing programs and behavior plans, discuss current ABA field events, and help participants apply ABA skills in real-world situations. Student Analysts are encouraged to collaborate and share insights on cases. Furthermore, New Summit provides various opportunities for Student Analysts to accumulate unrestricted hours, such as assisting with client monthly summaries, writing program descriptions, analyzing client progress, supporting assessments, and training other staff.
