What BCBAs miss in Oregon
- Oregon licenses renew every year, with 16 CE hours a year for behavior analysts rather than 32 every two years.
- Every technician delivering ABA in Oregon must be a registered behavior analysis interventionist, and RBT certification alone does not satisfy that.
- Oregon's interventionist registration can be supervised by other licensed health care professionals, not only behavior analysts.
Does Oregon license behavior analysts?
Oregon licenses behavior analysts and assistant behavior analysts and registers behavior analysis interventionists. A behavior analyst applicant has BCBA certification verified directly by the BACB, passes a fingerprint-based state and nationwide criminal records check, and sends an affidavit of licensure from every state where they hold or held a license.
