Build Something of Your Own
Entrepreneurship and Consulting
Entrepreneurship is not an ABA subspecialty, but it is a legitimate professional direction. Student analysts interested in private practice, consulting, program development, or building behavior-analytic services can learn from professionals with experience operating outside the traditional clinic model.
Exposure to a specialty does not mean every student analyst will receive a client in that exact area. Supervisor expertise and active fieldwork opportunities are related but separate. The value of the network is that you can learn from a much broader professional community than a single setting typically provides.
Fieldwork With Direction
Learn how broad behavior analysis can be before you decide where you want to take it.
Start with the fieldwork pace that fits your life, then build experience with support from a national network of behavior analysts.
