Most commonly asked Fieldwork FAQs

Do I have to see people in a clinical setting for them to be considered clients?

A client is considered a living person or group of people who receive behavior-analytic services in any setting.

What are Direct Hours (Restricted) Vs. Indirect Hours (Unrestricted)?

Restricted Hours: Physically working directly with clients, and implementing behavior-analytic services. Restricted hours only count towards 40% of your total hours.
Unrestricted Hours: These include activities such as interpreting data via visual analysis, behavior plan, action plan, program goal writing, peer-reviewed research in relating to a client, and attending supervision meetings. Unrestricted hours should make up at least 60% of your total hours (you can exceed 60%).
