In order to sit for the BACB exam, supervised experience is required. Your practicum placement, where you will acquire those supervised fieldwork hours, is one of the most important parts of your path to becoming a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA).  It is where you will gain practical experience in implementing the strategies and skills that you will learn during coursework. 

The UW ABA online program does not require obtaining your supervision through the UW as part of the program. However, our program does offer the opportunity for students to obtain their supervised fieldwork hours through our UW ABA program.  You do not have to be local to receive supervision.  For more information about complete supervision packages with UW, please email abainfo@uw.edu.
