Frequently Asked Questions

How many supervision hours does a BCBA need to provide?

The BACB requires at least 5% of each RBT's direct service hours per month. ESBAP recommends 8-10% for meaningful oversight.

What is the ideal BCBA-to-RBT ratio?

ESBAP considers 1:6 or better to be the ethical standard. Ratios of 1:8+ may compromise oversight quality.

How do I calculate my total supervision obligation?

Total monthly direct hours across all RBTs, multiplied by 5% (minimum) or 8% (recommended). This calculator does it for you.

Does supervision have to be in person?

Direct observation of sessions should be in person. Case discussions and data review can be remote, but in-person observation is essential for meaningful supervision.
