Which statement correctly describes the BCaBA certification?

• A. Supervise other BCaBAs and BCBAs working with clients
• B. BCaBAs are not bound by an ethical code
• C. BCaBAs are BCBAs in training
• D. Supervise behavior technicians and RBTs working with clients and provide mentorship to other BCaBAs

Answer: (D)

The idea tested here is what a BCaBA is allowed to do in practice. A BCaBA works under the supervision of a BCBA and helps carry out behavior-analytic services. A key part of that role is supervising those who directly implement plans with clients—behavior technicians and RBTs—to ensure interventions are applied correctly and ethically. In addition, BCaBAs can provide mentorship to other BCaBAs, supporting professional growth within the supervisory structure. The other statements don’t fit because BCaBAs are bound by the BACB Ethics Code, they are not “BCBAs in training,” and BCBAs supervise BCaBAs, not the other way around.
