BCBA Apprentice / BCBA in training

At North Shore Pediatric Therapy, you don’t have to chase down supervision opportunities or hope you stumble into the right experiences. We’ve built them in. From unrestricted activities to leadership practice, from study support to interdisciplinary collaboration—you’ll get everything you need to not only meet BACB requirements, but to go beyond them.

That’s why our fellowship model leads to a 90% first-attempt pass rate. Because when you’re prepared the right way, you don’t just pass—you thrive.

Whether you’re still building your hours or already hit 1,000, we’ll meet you where you are:

• Assistant Clinical Coordinator (ACC): For students working toward 1,000 fieldwork hours
• Lead Assistant Clinical Coordinator (LACC): For students with 1,000 total fieldwork hours (any type), ready for more responsibility

Why NSPT?

• Built-In Experiences, Not Box-Checking: You’ll never need to scramble to find intakes, discharges, or unrestricted activities—they’re systematically provided as part of your role. Every requirement is covered, and every experience is intentional.
• Beyond the Minimum: We don’t just prep you to “get by.” You’ll practice leadership, collaborate across disciplines, and develop clinical judgment that sets you apart the day you become a BCBA.
• A Clear Path Forward: ACC → LACC → BCBA. Your next role is already waiting. You don’t need to leave to level up.
• Interdisciplinary Collaboration: You’ll learn side by side with ABA, neuropsych, OT, PT, speech, and mental health teams, so you become the kind of BCBA who sees the whole child.
• Family Impact You’ll Feel: You get to be the reason a parent finally exhales. That’s what happens here. Our kids don’t know you’re logging hours. They just know they’re thriving.

• Interdisciplinary Support: You'll thrive in our multi-disciplinary environment, working with teams in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), Neuropsychology, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Speech-Language Pathology, and Mental Health.
