Self-Management: This role requires a high degree of autonomy. Success and sustainability depend heavily on your ability to self-organize, manage a demanding schedule, and set firm boundaries to prevent burnout. Meeting hourly requirements may require coverage sessions.
- Management: Some clinical supervisors are still completing their own higher education, which can sometimes lead to gaps in oversight and support.
- Compensation Structure: BCBA pay is competitive with the market. However, the pay scale for Behavior Technicians (BTs/RBTs) could be higher. Offering more incentives for BTs would acknowledge their vital role and help attract and retain top talent for this crucial position.
