This is a request for BCaBAs to be able to continue providing the supervisory level of services currently allowed while being provided guidance for any additional skills/expertise through their supervising BCBA.  There is currently an abundance of BCaBAs at most ABA centers in the state of Virginia and our current company as well.  If BCaBAs were pulled from their supervisory role, many clients will lose services due to lack of supervisors in the BCBA role.

If this concern cannot be addressed, please consider providing additional time for current BCaBAs to continue their supervisory position throughout schooling and/or additional training if they would like to pursue their BCBA. This will allow continued training and supervision for the BCaBA without impacting the client's current services.

Thank you for your consideration.
