150 Unrestricted Ideas When No One Assigns You Any
$15.99
Unrestricted hours...when you already have a supervisor should not be this difficult. But somehow, for some student analysts, it is.
If you’ve ever looked at your monthly fieldwork hours and thought, how am I supposed to create unrestricted hours out of thin air, this guide is just for you!
These 150 unrestricted activity ideas were created for student analysts who want to think ahead, build stronger BCBA or BCaBA level skills, and stop relying on supervision that feels vague, inconsistent, or limited to whatever happens to come up that week.
You do not need to sit around hoping your supervisor eventually gives you something to do. You can come prepared, think ahead, and start shaping your own experience.
You are not behind. You just need better structure, better options, and a way to take control of your hours.
What's included?
Each activity is written in BACB aligned language and includes an estimated hour range, so you can identify realistic ways to strengthen supervision conversations, expand your current cases, and build unrestricted experience that actually reflects future behavior analyst responsibilities.
The ideas are flexible across settings, including clinic, home, school, telehealth, parent training, supervision, and staff support. This means you can bring thoughtful, structured options to your supervisor, instead of waiting for someone else to assign them.
With each activity in this 150 item list averaging about 2 hours each, this guide provides up to 300 hours of structured unrestricted fieldwork ideas to share with your supervisor!
What do these hours look like?
One last thing!
If you are going above and beyond, bringing ideas, being proactive, and your supervisor is still refusing to assign or sign off on unrestricted activities, document that. Keep records of what you proposed, when you proposed it, and how it was responded to. You deserve a supervision experience that supports your growth!
