I have ADHD and the 40 hour course killed me to sit through. It was so long and boring that I couldn’t retain a lot. Your video helped me to retain more in 23 minutes then in a 40 hour course!!!🎉 Sweet, short, and to the point! Great examples as well, Thank you!
Hi, I have finished my 40 hours training now I am waiting for competency test but I couldn’t found BCBA supervisor who can help me. Can you help me to find any BCBA please
Wow this speaks volumes! I just completed my 40 hr course, and I have to do the initial assessment. I just found her videos, and Im so happy to see the feedback
This video was extremely helpful, I watched it everyday multiple times a day for an entire week before my competency assessment. I went in to take it feeling well prepared and very confident. It was a breeze thanks to you, I passed!
That is SO COOL to hear! 😊 This field needs more people like you who put in extra time to become great at their work. Congrats on passing! Are there any other topics you think might be helpful for me to do a video on?
That’s great! Good luck. I’m studying the 40 hours training now. I’m reading about everything but still trying to figure it out….. maybe you can help me? After the 40 hours training, what next? I saw I need to take A Competency Assessment How I sign for it? What’s the process? How much it cost? What if I fail in it? Any information you have would help me Thank you
I just started on my own today & I have no clue what I'm doing... Like any job, when ure new, everything seems overwhelming. I don't feel comfortable w/ the apps, they function funny, the names of staff, children, & locations. I just recently finished the 40 hrs & it was so too much. That when weekend hit, GMA got a hold of baby, & all I wanted to do was Nothing. When I should've been brushing up. I completely forgot I turned off all the alerts bc wow, my co. Stays busy. Got in there today like I'm not getting alerts. Got back home like ohhh, Whoops! I had a session I had to follow by & absolutely no one helped me with it. Wow, thx. But my apps were acting weird, I felt like I was bugging my leads, & I was like wever I guess I'll just wing it. Bc my co worker said I should just focus on pairing anyways, at first. Prob not the greatest idea to listen to them.. Even have some that finished the course w/ me. Trying super hard... Like plz don't act like u know everything in the same time I've learned stuff. Bc u def don't. Like they've learned the ends & outs of these kids already? I did not ask ..especially you. I'm trying to ask ppl who actually Know & not just talking out their arse. Anyways, I really winged it. Took hardly anything down. I've noticed ppl there don't always do anyways. Not saying that's a good thing. But at least I played w/ the kiddos & did wever learning tactics in their packages. I really should be sleeping right now tho. Bc sleep, work, eat, cuddle wif baby, wake up, repeat. Sigh
I had my competency assessment and this was a literal life changer. Thanks to this video I passed with flying colors lol. Thank you so much! And to others who are looking through the comments before watching to see if it’ll fit for you the answer is yes. This is the one to watch!!!
I bombed my competency exam a few hours ago, and was feeling really hopeless. I scheduled another on Monday, and this video helped a lot! You describe things in an amazing and simple way, thank you!
after failing my competency twice due to not remembering stimulus control transfer, you made it easier to remember and understand. those videos didn’t help me whatsoever but you did!! hope i pass tomorrow when i retake it
You’re a lifesaver! My competency assessment got rescheduled for today and I was sweating! This calmed me down and let me know ok I know a lot more than I thought I just needed refreshers! Thank you!! ❤
Thank you for this consise review. Feeling much more confident about my impending competency assement. You are an excellent teacher. And gorgeous, too. There I said it.
I appreciate your effort in creating this video! I am currently in the process of completing my assessment and with your concise explanations I feel much more confident in how I'll perform! Thank you!
Thank you SO MUCH for creating this precious study guide and providing examples. I will say that the music is distracting. Usually, when I read comments of people who complain about the music, I suggest that they turn off the sound. So of course, I tried to do that, but I really needed to hear your explanation, and that made the video hard to endure despite the excellent information. I cannot explain why the sound affected me the way it did. Please do not take this as a criticism. Just my two cents.
I was so nervous for my competency assessment,and you helped me pass the first time! I watched this video twice a day for a week. Your examples are so helpful. Kind of wish you would do some of the examples played out in other videos (had to look some examples up). But otherwise fantastic information! Thank you 🎉
A lot of you have said that the music in this is too loud, so here’s the exact same video with quieter music:❤️ ua-cam.com/video/26z6ZeSQU7c/v-deo.html
I’ve been listening to your video..this exact one regularly on my ride to work in the car as I’m just getting started in the 40 hour course. Thank you for all you do. The video helps ease some nerves I have currently.
I've been an RBT for a year now and I am up for renewal. Like you said everyone gets tripped up on discontinuous measurement (myself included). We started my renewal competency Monday and I blanked on this part, luckily, I have a mulligan as my BCBA didn't sign off on it yet. I sometimes get irrationally anxious when it comes to these things. I know the material but I get tripped up so videos like this definitely help me retain what I have learned as sometimes auditory is not my best method of learning but a combination of written and visual learning. I do the rest of the renewal competency tomorrow so wish me luck!
i've watched this a few times, my assessment is in 8 hours haha but i'm really excited and a lot less nervous now that im really able to take notes and understand these terms more. I've been a behavior technician for almost a year so I'm excited to get my RBT soon!
@@moderndayaba It went great! I passed it was very chill. I will be checking out more of your videos as my BCBA/observer said she will provide me with more resources in understanding DTT more. I do understand a lot of it unfortunately the trials I ran were just added into the program the day before so although they were quite simple I used RR stimuli rather than Mass Trial. So definitely going to pay closer attention and watch some more from you :)
What helped me in particular from your video was the emergency and supervisor parts that you covered (such as reminding me 5% of the session should be supervised) I didn't study too much so I relied most on your video and the wisdom of over a year's experience. Although I know schedules of reinforcement I am glad that wasn't on the test lol.Your video will definitely help others in the future ☺️
Thank you! I’m glad I can help. Please let me know if you have any questions about it. I also made another video about the RBT career path a couple weeks ago. 👉 ua-cam.com/video/3WJCrQ-tUUk/v-deo.html
A lot of people go through that same thing! In fact I’d say 99% of people. If it helps, the person doing your assessment is rooting for you to pass. Try to take a deep breath and give yourself time to think during each task if you need it. You got this!!!
Hello I love this video very informative and dynamic I'm in the process to take the competency assessment but with this video I'm feeling more comfortable. the only suggestion is the background music I think is too loud and distracted maybe if you lowered it will be better. overall is perfect! thank you so much for doing this!!!:)
This video is so helpful!! I know you mentioned to not worry too much about shaping but what are some examples of shaping that the BCBA will walk us through? I’m just confused how this would be demonstrated in an assessment
The one I always do is shaping vocal imitation. So, if the terminal target is imitating saying “ball,” I might start by accepting any vocalization, then “bah” after that’s mastered, then “ball” after that’s mastered. And I shape that by only giving reinforcement for acceptable topographies. Make sense?
Hi, I have finished 40 hours training. Now I am waiting for taking Competency Assessment. But I didn’t find any BCBA analysis who can help me. Can you help me? And Can I do this test online?
Hi Farjana! Typically you’d have a BCBA supervisor once you are hired by an ABA company. They will then do your competency assessment. Once you’ve passed that, I believe you must take the exam in person at a Pearson testing center.
Hi there! I'm in Oklahoma. You will need to apply to ABA therapist / RBT jobs in your area. Once hired, a BCBA will be assigned to you, train you, and do your comp assessment. :)
They gave me 6 days to study. And 3 of the 6, I work full time, open to close. I’m just stewing with anxiety right now 😭 Is this short of a time normal???
@@moderndayabawell, after crying all night & trying to study, she passed me happily. Took about 2.5 hrs. She preferred for me to demonstrate everything rather than interview style. You are so right, every BCBA is different. But I did it thanks to your video!
i got two weeks to do the 40 hours and then shadow sessions day after i finished and got those 2 days in a row with the 3rd day being my exam (i have this on friday, so nervous)
Hi there, I don’t remember exactly what the cost of the exam is, but you should be able to find that info on bacb.com. As for supervision cost, I’ve never heard of RBTs paying for supervision. Usually you receive it when you work for an ABA organization because the BCBA oversees your client’s case.
Hi! Sorry for crashing under this thread. I just completed my 40 hr training through APF and would like to go ahead with the competency assessment. However, I'm not working so I don't have any supervisor. Can you please refer me to a good supervisor? The ones I'm checking online are charging alot 😢

Same exact experience!
I had that same exact problem and I was so anxious throughout it! This video helped boost my confidence!
yea, it was so intense for me as well.. i randomly screamed out loud thru the process to get me thru it
Me too I’m struggling so bad right now 😭
I passed my competency test yesterday. Just wanna thank you too your video helped alot.
That’s so awesome! Congratulations!! 🎊
Hi, I have finished my 40 hours training now I am waiting for competency test but I couldn’t found BCBA supervisor who can help me. Can you help me to find any BCBA please
This is sooooo helpful!!!!!! 40 hours of virtual class I was not able to focus or retain the information. This was perfect
You helped me be confident! I passed my Rbt comp and today I passed my official exam. Thank you so much for these videos!
That is so awesome!! Congratulations! 🎊🍾

A video about the multiple choice RBT Exam would be helpful :)
Could you please tell me that all the things that BCBA asked during the assessment is these 20? Or he/she asked more questions?
Noted! Honestly it’s been years since I took the exam but I know a lot of people who have passed recently, I can see what they have to say.
That’s great! Good luck.
I’m studying the 40 hours training now. I’m reading about everything but still trying to figure it out….. maybe you can help me?
After the 40 hours training, what next? I saw I need to take
A Competency Assessment
How I sign for it? What’s the process? How much it cost? What if I fail in it?
Any information you have would help me
Thank you
My ADHD is very extreme and 40 hours training and 28 of shadowing didn’t help. This video helped me so much. Thank you so so so much
I’m so glad it was helpful!!

Please how to I contact you, I need a supervision. Thanks 🙏
hi, who gives the competency assessment? Like after taking the 40 hrs., where do I go, call or what to do the assessment test?
You will need to be hired by an ABA agency, and a BCBA there will do your competency assessment.
I wish the video had no music
Is there a version of this video with NO MUSIC? It would be great!
Hi Lucas! Here’s a link to the same video with quieter music: ua-cam.com/video/26z6ZeSQU7c/v-deo.html

How are y’all setting up your competency assessments because I don’t know how to start
This is typically arranged by your BCBA once you have been hired to an ABA agency.
Hi, I have finished 40 hours training. Now I am waiting for taking Competency Assessment. But I didn’t find any BCBA analysis who can help me. Can you help me? And Can I do this test online?
Hi Farjana! Typically you’d have a BCBA supervisor once you are hired by an ABA company. They will then do your competency assessment. Once you’ve passed that, I believe you must take the exam in person at a Pearson testing center.
Where do you live? Are you in California? I’m looking for a BCBA supervisor for my RBT assessment.
Hi there! I'm in Oklahoma. You will need to apply to ABA therapist / RBT jobs in your area. Once hired, a BCBA will be assigned to you, train you, and do your comp assessment. :)
I am already took my 40 hours for RBT and can you do the competency assessment for me please
I cannot, unfortunately. The next step is to apply for an ABA agency where a BCBA works, and they will do it! :)
They gave me 6 days to study. And 3 of the 6, I work full time, open to close. I’m just stewing with anxiety right now 😭 Is this short of a time normal???
It’s not unheard of. Did you get time to study at work at all? How did it go?
@@moderndayabawell, after crying all night & trying to study, she passed me happily. Took about 2.5 hrs. She preferred for me to demonstrate everything rather than interview style. You are so right, every BCBA is different. But I did it thanks to your video!
i got two weeks to do the 40 hours and then shadow sessions day after i finished and got those 2 days in a row with the 3rd day being my exam (i have this on friday, so nervous)
Does the BCBA tell you which behavior we are observing?
Yes, any behaviors being measured or changed will be identified in advance!
How much does it cost for supervision and the exam
Hi there, I don’t remember exactly what the cost of the exam is, but you should be able to find that info on bacb.com. As for supervision cost, I’ve never heard of RBTs paying for supervision. Usually you receive it when you work for an ABA organization because the BCBA oversees your client’s case.

@@moderndayaba thank you. I will give it a try. I like the straight forward information in your video.
I wish there was no music in background . It’s very informative but music is annoying and distracting
Or lower the music a little more. It does help us ADDers.
Love the information but you are talking to fast. Thanks for the info.
No music and more text on the screen would make this video even more helpful.
You can put text on the screen in the top right of the video
Thanks for the feedback! I’ve uploaded another version of this with quieter music here: ua-cam.com/video/26z6ZeSQU7c/v-deo.html
You’re really cute
Why are you talking so fast? How does that help someone?
To make the video straightforward, shorter and concise. Which is great.
