We believe that academic coursework for becoming a Behavior Analyst (BCBA), while necessary, is not sufficient by itself. The path to becoming a great BCBA requires systematically bridging the gap between academia and practical hands-on experience. Our Clinician in Training (CiT) program, originally launched in 2014, is designed to provide essential training and mentorship components towards cultivating great future BCBAs.
This program includes:
We believe we are never done building, improving, and learning. This belief forms the mission of the Clinical Training Team. This team comprises in-house, senior clinicians and BCBA-D’s who are focused on driving outcomes, research, learning, and development. They serve as our “seal team” that supports and mentors the rest of the organization where needed. Our Clinical Training team’s work is tied to our core value to “never sit still and continuously raise the bar.”
The Clinical Development Team drives training systems and continuous improvement in all aspects of our clinical approach.
We are committed to creating progress and possibilities for children with autism. The foundation of this commitment is our ongoing staff training. We’ve created our own interactive curriculum to ensure mastery of ABA best practices and teaching methods across our entire staff.
With a demand for services on the rise, many insurance companies are now requiring direct intervention be delivered by a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) credentialed by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB). The BACB requires a 40-hour training course as part of a requirement for RBT training. While many companies purchase a pre-made video course to teach employees, Bierman ABA Autism Center created nearly 50 hours of original content for our RBT course. Our course covers all behavior analysis related topics covered by the BACB RBT checklist, covers additional concepts to deepen understanding of ABA, and teaches the concept in a way that ensures mastery of the concepts similar to that of a graduate level course.
