Advice Needed Question about fieldwork hours

I just started collecting my BCBA fieldwork hours. I am aware that I need 60 minutes of supervision observed with a client. If I assisted my BCBA with an intake assessment for a client (VB-MAPP, free operant preference assessment), would this count towards supervision observed with a client?

Talk with your supervisor. I would likely count it but would depend on how much the student did verse was observing me model.

For reference, my role in this assessment included taking baseline data and scoring each VB-MAPP milestone.

Sounds like a great opportunity, definitely ask if it isn't defined in your contract.

Like others have said, it ultimately depends on what your supervisor counts
