Initial Discussion: BCBA StandardsThe field of applied behavior analysis is relatively young. Currently, the BACB has worked with many states to create well-defined processes for becoming a board-certified behavior analyst. Each state has different regulations and laws governing work with clients. As a result, there are steps and requirements for individuals working to become certified that may be unique to a particular state. The certification requirements of the individual are defined in the BCBA/BCaBA Task List. This document specifies the knowledge and skills required to pass examinations and become a behavior analyst or assistant behavior analyst. As the field of behavior analysis has evolved, the knowledge and skills have been updated to reflect this evolution. The fourth edition of this task list has been in place for many years, and the fifth edition is set to come into effect by January 2022. For this Discussion, you will examine the web pages of the nonprofit organization Board Certified Behavior Analyst, including the fourth and fifth editions of the BCBA/BCaBA Task List. You will also discuss the importance of mastering the skills and abilities listed. To prepare:
