We also discuss understanding your strengths, being open to new experiences, goal setting, and how to stay grounded when working with parents and other professionals. We dive into CEUs and how to make a plan to track them. Surround yourself with people you can rely on and who are available to answer your questions. Supervision is key, so be sure to find a mentor that you respect and trust. There’s still so much to learn and experience and here, we’re sharing tips to help you start the journey off on the right foot. The truth is that getting that piece of paper is just the beginning of your journey as a new BCBA.
Some new practitioners are faced with impostor syndrome while others believe that just by having the certification, they know everything there is to know. Although becoming officially certified is something to celebrate, the next task is getting out into the field and putting your new skills to the test. Passing your BCBA exam is an amazing accomplishment.

We’re also hosting a webinar with Valori on feeding on Friday, February 24th at 12 pm EST. If you’re interested in learning more about Valori and her work, check out her blog by clicking the link below. We chat with Valori about how feeding falls under ABA, the biggest challenges to feeding when working with kids with autism, and suggestions on how to work on feeding flexibility. Valori also started a blog as a way to help families and providers serving the population. Through her work, Valori realized there was a huge demand for help with feeding concerns and the wait for families can be really long. Valori relocated to Seattle after school, and she eventually worked in the specialty of feeding. She then went on to graduate school where she gained valuable experience in a wide variety of areas. Valori left class totally hooked and was inspired to get into the field. Greg Madden, a pioneer in behavior economics, was a guest speaker in one of Valori’s classes and wanted to recruit students into an ABA track. She started her ABA journey in undergraduate school in the early 2000s, where she was introduced to psychology. When Valori reached out to us, of course, we had to have her join us on the show. For any of us who have been in the field, we know that a lot of the kids we work with really struggle with feeding. Valori Neiger is an autism feeding specialist.
