Going Independent Cohort
A live, small-group cohort for BCBAs building an independent, caregiver-led practice.

Not a course. Not passive content.
A structured space to think, decide, and move forward with your business.

Over four weeks, we work through the pieces that decide whether a solo practice actually works: your offer, positioning, pricing, systems, and client acquisition. You’ll work on your own ideas in real time, with guidance, structure, and a small group of BCBAs doing the same.

You’ll leave with decisions made and a clear next step.

“This group has given me the courage to just do it scared... Thank you for showing me that it is possible.”
— BCBA, 2026 cohort attendee

This cohort is for you if you’re:

  • In the early stages of building or exploring a solo practice

  • Ready to move from ideas into action

  • Looking for a more flexible way to practice

  • Committed to a caregiver-led model. This cohort doesn’t cover supervision-based or RBT-dependent service models.

“It helped me think through what I actually want my practice to look like and gave me a much better idea of where to focus my time and energy... I was going back and forth so much, but this cohort helped me realize I can make this model work.”
— BCBA, 2026 cohort attendee

What we’ll work through

  • Defining your services and offer

  • Positioning and pricing your work

  • Building simple, functional systems, and knowing what you don’t need yet

  • Client acquisition and outreach

“I think that I have spent a lot of time (and money) on things that I don’t actually need, and this cohort really helped me see what I need right now, what I will need in the future, and what would be nice to have.”
— BCBA, 2026 cohort attendee
