In this episode, he shares some tips on this in our discussion as well as answers questions from listeners.<\/p>\n<p>Little Star has also pioneered what they call an apprentice model of supervision, which from my point of view, seems like a win-win opportunity for both the aspiring behavior analyst and the organization. It has been so effective that Little Star does not actively recruit for BCBA's. As such, I couldn't resist asking some questions about this process, which was also written about in a recent issue of Behavior Analysis in Practice.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some links to tools and articles that Tim shared with us:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.behavioralobservations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/BAP-article-1.pdf\">BAP article<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.behavioralobservations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Treatment-Intensity-Exercise2_v2-2.docx\">Treatment Intensity Exercise<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.behavioralobservations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/PMA-Experience-Checklist_Copyrighted-1.xlsx\">PMA Experience Checklist<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cms.gov\/CCIIO\/Programs-and-Initiatives\/Other-Insurance-Protections\/mhpaea_factsheet.html\">The Mental Health Parity Act<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I hope you enjoyed this conversation as much as I did.
