Congrats 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Came from TikTok, congratulations on your hard work and success!
How would I find supervision/field training as a bcba instead of an RBT or would I need to start as a RBT?
How to go about getting credentialing with health insurances
@@czrinamoreno5875 look at my other videos on this topic. If that’s not what you’re looking for I can do a vid 🤗
❤❤❤
Hi, thank you for providing us with this information. I have a question that I cannot find clear information; Do you know if I can obtain my supervision hours working as a special education paraprofessional in a public school setting?
@@angiePA2011 yes if you have a bcba supervising you
Thank you for responding to my question 🤗
Hey enjoying your video. I do have a question . For someone who wants to start an ABA practice, what are some things we should be doing ahead of time to ensure we are able to receive pay from the insurance company ? What are the hurdles when first starting your business and you have clients; is it difficult getting insurance companies to look at you as a real practice?
@@deshaericard5852 I can make a video on this. But the biggest thing is understanding billing it getting a biller. The insurance company will see you as a practice with 0 clients.
Congratulations! 🍾🎊🎉

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
Thank you! I hope you are well :)
Hi! I stumbled on your page and love it. My why is that I have two children on the spectrum and want to open a clinic. My Bachelors is in Psychology. Do you recommend me obtaining a Masters in ABA to obtain a BCBA certification, to open a clinic or could I open one without becoming a BCBA? Im in Mississippi.
It depends on your end goal. Both routes will require some sort of sacrifice. If you aren’t interested in becoming a bcba you can hire one. But if you want to build first and once stable add on staff then becoming a bcba is your best route. Thanks 💕
This is where i continue to drop the ball...started a business plan...andnhavent gone back to it in a couple years. Keep telling myself to...thanks for this tip😊
Figure out your why for starting the business! If it’s strong enough and what you truly desire you will have the motivation to keep going 💕 good luck
Love This...thank you #BCBA

Hi
I have Bachelors Degree in Sociology and Social work, I need master degree?
Yes you need a masters to be a bcba
@@nandi.nelson thanks
I have a question! Does the master's degree and the coursework need to be from the same university?
It does not mines I’d from 2 different ones
Hi! The courses are like test or just information curses thanks
Courses are, classes, information and exams. It’s like a condensed “degree”.
Love your hair and thank you. 😍😍😍😍😍
@@CarmiJoseph-ms5vj aww thank you 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I did the same thing went to school for psychology turned around, went for my BCBA. I don’t know what the pay is in your state but it’s a bag here where I live. Now, I’m working on opening up my own ABA center. It’s so good to see other African-American BCBA out here. I love seeing us succeed.💯🙌🏾
@@aleayh wow that’s pretty cool! I don’t think enough people know about being a bcba. Our field can deff use more ABA companies being led by POC. There was been an increase over the years but can do better.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@ottiejoseph7109 thank you!
Hello... First let me say congratulations to you on obtaining your BCBA... I'm currently looking into obtaining my BCBA and it just dosen't make sense ... so I have 2 Master's degree's one in Fine Arts and 1 in Criminology and a Minor in Law. My undergrad in in Criminology and a Minor in Behavioral Analysis ... But those credits are only good with a Masters Degree.... it won't apply with my undergrad.. However, aren't there 4 different paths to obtain this credential? At this point I believe getting the HOURS will be harder than taking the test. I'm definitely about to apply to be a RBT and I will try to reach them tomorrrow
This is a loaded response so I’m not sure on where to start or how to help. Overall you would need a masters that qualifies. There are a few ways to obtain the “hours (fieldwork)” but if you don’t have a qualifying degree you cannot obtain the hours. If you have a more specific question let me know and I’d be happy to help if I can
Im taking my exam this december, IF i fail for the exam will i be sitting for task list 6 or still task list 5??? (I hope i dont have to retake but yeah need to know lol)
Hey I would check the website I cannot recall off the top of my head with the 6th edition goes into effect. However, say if it is Jan then yes you would be tested off of that edition. Let’s not put that energy out there! You’ve got this
You most likely will, task list 6 starts in January
@@mimijay7678 So that means lets plan to PASS!!!!!!!🤗
Nandi girlllll you’re in Jersey!!! I need youuuu
@@AllthingsNess hey yes I’m in Jersey!!! Send me a dm on IG or email me info@nandinelson.com
I’m a RBT and not a BCBA can I open a clinic and hire a BCBA with that said can I become Credentialed with insurance companies? Or do I have be be a BCBA
@@czrinamoreno5875 you can open a clinic. But only a bcba can be credentialed with insurance so you would need a bcba on staff.
Share the story 😊
@@ginaibrahim5329 will do!!!! 🤗🤗🤗
I love your hair 😍
thank you!!!!!!💕💕💕💕
thank you for the advices it was pretty useful, can you do a video about how I should divide and handle my income wisely ?
@@kevinrevan-q3b yes! Maybe I will have a special guest join who is much more financially savvy than I am 😉
Thank you for this video. Do insurance companies allow you to bill for your lcsw Services as well as your bcba services for the same client? In other words, can you provide mental health counseling with your lcsw license and then also provide ABA Services with your behavior analyst license? I also have both of these licenses and am looking to do Private practice in the coming years.
Hello I have never tried this but I would probably say no since most times you cannot be dual credentialed with insurance under the same tax id.
thank you this was useful
You’re welcome!!! So happy you found it helpful
How did you utilize Bootstrapping?
@@Bella-Bell-mw7ng you have to consider how much money you already have saved or can save and the cost of starting your business. I’ll do a full video on my experience which may provide more insight
Makes sense! My name starts with a Z lol so no wonder I don't get many calls.
My company Name starts with an "S" so we are in the same boat.
Hi, I am a RBT looking into BCBA. Can you tell me more about the other jobs I can receive or other populations I can work with?
@@ifywbdbPodcast I will do a video on this
How do you choose which insurance bill?
@@lifeis2171 based on who you have a contact with and for which sub speciality
Did they recently change the requirements again by allowing a social worker to get a bcba
@@johnsonjohnson6323 when looking at the requirements the degrees I stated in the video were the once accepted. They may change it or have. I’d suggest checking out the site or sending them a direct inquiry
@@nandi.nelson can I ask how long it’s been since you got your bcba? When I look at their guidelines for pathway 3 it only says masters degree required from a qualifying institution. It doesn’t specify a degree. When u talked with the school they said aMSW will qualify.
@@johnsonjohnson6323 I been a bcba since 2015
@@johnsonjohnson6323 this is good news! I never understood why they changed it considering sw is a benefit

Hello Nandi! Thank you for sharing! I found this video to be very helpful. (: I recently graduated with my MSSW & will soon be starting the process of working towards my LCSW but also want to become a BCBA. Because my MSSW was not ABA-focused, would you recommend that I join a post-geaduate certification course through a university? Or how did you go about that?
@@morg5248 thanks for watching happy it was helpful. I made a video on the bcba requirements check It out as you may not be eligible with an msw. They go back and forth with the degrees they accept but currently it’s ABA, edu or psych
@@nandi.nelson thank you!
Yes can you share were else we can work as a BCBA
@@maryerey1 sure
Thanks for the information! I'm currently running an ABA Business for the past few years, but recently hit some set backs and struggling with the Marketing. Can you make a video focusing on the Marketing strategies in more detail?
@@EAEA1314 sure! What methods have you tried so far? How are you generating referrals?
Good luck on your dissertation!
@@SurferNYC thank you!
In my case I have a bachelor degree in social work, does that mean I'm not qualified to be a bcba?
@@reemnassir646 I believe I answered your question on IG. But others may have this question so I’ll answer here 😊. You need to have a masters to be eligible to become a bcba. So your bsw paired with a masters in one of the areas I referenced in the video will do
I started my BCBA path a couple years ago. I have a masters in special education and a bachelor’s in psychology. I attended a program that gave me the VCS classes that I needed. The program did not have supervision built into it so I worked as an RBT to get my supervision hours. It seems like it takes forever to get the hours you need working part-time. I work as a special ed teacher full-time but there isn’t a BCBA in my district that can provide me with supervision hours. Paying for a BCBA to supervise me is expensive. I feel lost
Also, if you can, consider a job switch that will help you earn hours while on the job. Just another idea 🙏🏾
Does your RBT role offer supervision for free? Also I know if can feel like forever when only able to count a minimum number of hours. Maybe you can do more indirect hours. Since you will need more indirect than direct. Maybe also speak to the supervisor to come up with a plan to Maximize your hours.
@@kpatter6 that’s a great idea put it may be tough for some financially since depending on the company the BT/rbt role can have inconsistent hours
Hello... I thought if you worked as a SPED teacher you could get hours from the district?
@@londonbridges3055Im needing to know this as well
First, conduct market research. Spend a few hours understanding your target audience and competitors. This will help you to Identify gaps in the market and see how your business can fill them. Second, create a simple business plan. Outline your business goals, strategies, and financial projections. This will help you clarify your vision and create a clear path.
Yeees
Thank you ❤️
