BCBA FAQs

At AnswersNow, BCBAs work directly with children and caregivers — we don’t use RBTs. This means every minute of therapy is delivered by an expert, leading to highly efficient sessions, comparable outcomes to in-person models, and extremely high caregiver satisfaction. We also deliver 2–4x more caregiver training than traditional models, empowering families every step of the way.

AnswersNow was founded in 2017 by Jeff Beck, a former social worker who saw firsthand how difficult it was for families to access ABA therapy. Our mission is to make high-quality ABA therapy more accessible through a virtual-first model.

We work with children as young as 18 months up to young adults (age 24), with the majority of our clients between the ages of 5–12. We offer both direct therapy and caregiver-mediated models depending on the child’s age and needs.

We currently serve families in six states and are expanding rapidly!

Most full-time BCBAs work with 8–10 clients, delivering roughly 6 hours of therapy each day, primarily between 3–9 PM Eastern Time, with additional hours earlier in the day.

Therapy is delivered via our custom video platform. For younger children, we use a "caregiver-mediated" model where caregivers are actively involved. For older or more independent children, BCBAs work directly with the child while also conducting separate caregiver training sessions.

We focus on delivering a “Focused Model” of care — targeting 2–3 socially significant goals at a time. For families whose child cannot engage in virtual treatment directly, we offer intensive caregiver training programs.

Every BCBA at AnswersNow is paired with a Clinical Team Lead who provides regular coaching, clinical support, and guidance on caseload management. You’ll meet with your Clinical Team Lead weekly, and you’ll also be part of a broader clinical community through roundtables and team meetings. We make sure you have the resources, technology, and peer support needed to deliver great care — and if challenges arise, we work together to find solutions quickly.

You should be able to use standard video conferencing tools, navigate Google Suite and platforms like CentralReach, and be open to learning how to troubleshoot basic Wi-Fi or connection issues—as well as other new tools—with support from our team.

After completing the training program, you’ll gradually begin building your caseload with support from your Clinical Team Lead.

Full-time BCBAs receive medical, dental, and vision insurance (with a generous employer contribution), a 401(k) plan (no current match but under consideration), 10 PTO days, 9 paid holidays, and flexible additional time off when you find case coverage.

You can take incremental PTO (up to 60 hours of clinical billable credit per year). If you find coverage from another BCBA, you can take additional time off without impacting your pay.
