BACB® 2027 Supervision Requirements Are Coming—And MentraTrack Is Already Ready
Starting January 1, 2027, the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) is rolling out major changes to supervision and fieldwork requirements for BCBA candidates. These changes aren't minor—they affect everything from how hours are categorized, to how forms are submitted, to how often supervision must occur.
While other platforms are still talking about making updates, MentraTrack is the first platform to actually build them.
- Launched 5/6/2025 with full 2027 compliance.
What's Changing in 2027?
Whether you're a current trainee or a supervisor preparing for the future, here's what you need to know about the new BCBA fieldwork requirements:
What Makes MentraTrack Different?
While other platforms are scrambling to adapt, MentraTrack is already the first to integrate the full 2027 requirements into every aspect of the platform—no workarounds, no "coming soon," no guesswork.
No other platform offers AI support tailored to ABA Fieldwork.
Here's what we've built that no one else has:
NEW 2027 Monthly & Final BACB® Forms — Already Live
We've fully digitized the new 2027 monthly and final verification forms, including support for multiple supervisors. Forms auto-fill based on data you've already entered—no need to redo work at the end of the month.
Supervisor & Trainee Dashboards, Synced in Real Time
MentraTrack was built for full visibility—from both sides. Supervisors and trainees share access to live, synced dashboards that make tracking progress intuitive, transparent, and compliant.
Trainee Dashboard Includes:
- AI Competency Assessment: Trainees can complete self-assessments aligned with the BACB® Test Content Outline (TCO) to identify skill gaps and build confidence—supervisors can view results to individualize support and guide supervision.
- Auto-Generated Forms: 2027 monthly and final verification forms are auto-filled based on logged data—ready for review, signature, and sync to your supervisor's dashboard.
- Compliance Warnings: Flags any months that don't meet BACB® standards and excludes them from your total.
- Hour Progress: See how many raw, eligible, and effective hours you've completed toward your certification goal.
- Supervision %: Automatically calculates your supervision percentage and flags compliance issues.
- Hour Breakdown: Visual display of restricted vs. unrestricted hours with alerts when limits aren't met.
- Observations: Tracks total minutes and monthly client observations to ensure you meet BACB® minimums.
- Supervision Contacts: Monitors the number of supervisor contacts per month and highlights when you fall short.
Trainees can log fieldwork, view past monthly performance, complete AI-driven skill assessments, and export all data via CSV—instantly.
Supervisor Dashboard Includes:
- All Active Trainees at a Glance: View hours, compliance status, upcoming risks, and estimated completion.
- Automatic Rule Checks: Instantly see % supervision, observation time, monthly contact count, and restricted hour limits.
- AI Assessment Insights: View trainee performance on test content outline (TCO)–aligned assessments—including scores, attempts, domain trends, and areas for improvement—so you can tailor supervision and support effectively.
- Form Syncing: Trainee-generated forms are instantly shared to your dashboard for seamless approval and documentation.
- AI Goal Management: Quickly generate individualized, SMART supervision goals using MentraTrack's built-in AI tool—aligned with trainee skill level. Supervisors can assign, edit, and track goals all from one place.
- Detailed Monthly Views: Click into any month to see status breakdown: supervision %, contacts, restricted %, and more.
Supervisors can approve fieldwork, leave notes, assign goals, and track compliance—all in one secure place.
Why This Matters Now
Most trainees currently collecting hours will graduate into the 2027 rules. If your fieldwork ends after January 1, 2027, you must use the new forms even if you started under the 2022 requirements.
That means the time to switch is now.
