The Easiest Way to Track ABA Fieldwork Hours

You can add entries line by line as far back as you would like. For most users, using the bulk entry makes more sense, as they might have a more detailed account of the hours in a different tracker. If that isn’t the case for you and you would like to make more detailed entries, just use the calendar feature on the Dashboard and choose the appropriate date. Please note that you can’t combine bulk entries with individual entries - you have to choose one strategy.

To edit an entry, simply navigate to the month overview and click the pencil icon next to the entry you would like to edit.

If you want to delete a month, you have to delete every individual entry from that month. Go to the month overview and click the trash can icon next to the entry you would like to delete.

We know several aspiring BCaBAs are using Ripley for their fieldwork tracking. We are aware that the requirements for BCaBAs are different. Ripley is built to track your fieldwork hours to sit for the BCBA exam - but it also works well for BCaBAs, although the various requirements can not be adjusted. Keep that in mind if you choose to use Ripley to track your BCaBA fieldwork hours.

We have a simple solution for that. When you are getting set up in the system, there is a button that allows you to ADD the hours you already have. We call these BULK HOURS. To add bulk hours, click ‘Add a previous month’ in the dashboard or simply click here.

For Supervisees:
First, confirm that your supervisor has an active Ripley account. Navigate to the Account Access section under My Profile to send a connection request. Make sure to use the correct email address associated with your supervisor's account. Once you submit the request, if the email you provided matches an existing account, the connection will be established automatically.

For Supervisors:
Only supervisees can initiate the connection request for safety and privacy protection. Ensure your supervisee has an active Ripley account and that they use the correct email address associated with your account when submitting the request. Once they send the request, if the email matches an existing account, the connection will be established automatically.

Concentrated hours are multiplied by 1.333, per the BACB. If you complete 1,500 concentrated hours, that will be the equivalent of 2,000 non-concentrated hours (1,500 x 1.333 equals 2,000). Ripley tracks this by multiplying concentrated hours by 1.333 before adding them to the ‘Total Hours Completed’ graph, thus it will be weighted differently than non-concentrated hours and will allow you to track both concentrated and non-concentrated hours over the course of your fieldwork and keep track of how much you have completed - and more importantly - how many hours you still need to complete. Additionally, on the monthly dashboard page, all concentrated months will show the need of additional contacts/observations to fulfill the concentrated month's requirements.
