Practicum Experience

Students in the SUNY Downstate ABA program complete BACB-aligned fieldwork under the supervision of qualified, board-certified behavior analysts. Practicum experiences are integrated across two dedicated courses and provide students with the opportunity to apply behavior-analytic principles in real-world settings while receiving structured, individualized supervision.

Fieldwork is conducted through partnerships with approved affiliate sites. Current affiliate organizations include:

• Autism Care Partners
• Brooklyn Autism Center
• Little Bears ABA
• Proud Moments ABA

Additional sites are being developed to support student needs across a variety of clinical and educational settings. Practicum placements are determined based on student interests, site availability, and supervisory capacity. All supervisors and sites are vetted to ensure alignment with fieldwork experience requirements and program expectations.
