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.

Linking Ripley supervisee/supervisor accounts is easy. Here are two ways in which you can link accounts with your supervisor/supervisee.

FIRST (quickest, easiest, recommended) you can go to the top of the dashboard once you log in to Ripley. If you have a supervisor account, it will say “Invite your supervisee(s) to track their progress.”, if you have a supervisee account, it will say “Invite your supervisor(s) to help track your hours”.

Once you have invited your supervisor/supervisee, they will receive an email from Ripley. If they already have an account and are logged in, they can click it to automatically link to your account.

If they are new to Ripley, they will be prompted to create an account. Once their account has been created, they will be linked to your account.

SECOND - if you have unsuccessfully attempted the above method, you can fill out our Contact Form and request for us to manually connect you to a supervisor or supervisee.

Be sure to provide both supervisee and supervisor email addresses that were used to set up Ripley accounts. Please note that this will only work if both parties already have a Ripley account.

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.

When creating a new month on the dashboard, there is a field that allows you to select the specific fieldwork type (non-concentrated vs concentrated). By default, your previous fieldwork type will automatically be pre-selected. If you need to edit an existing month from non-concentrated to concentrated hours, go to the month overview, scroll down to the bottom, and click ‘Edit Month Details’. You will then be able to toggle between concentrated and non-concentrated fieldwork - as many times as you’d like.

Yes, Ripley will do that for you. You have the ability to print your monthly verification form for the BACB at the end of the month. You can auto-generate a form with all of your data from that month prefilled. Then you can sign the form electronically and have it emailed as a pdf to you, your supervising BCBA, or both.

YES! The purpose of this website is to help you accrue and track your hours, keeping all your documents organized and in one place! When it is time to compile your documents, you can effortlessly download everything you need to submit in a nice tidy package.

YES! Our site supports you having multiple supervisors and sites for your ABA hours. We know that your 2,000 hours you need may occur over a period of time and span companies, settings, and supervisors. Our system is set up to easily allow for these scenarios.

Please, let us know so we can fix them and improve the site! If you have any issues, technical or otherwise, you can email us by filling out our contact form, or call us at 773-234-2020 and talk to a human.

YES! Call us at 773-234-2020 weekdays from 9am-5pm Central Time. We would love to hear from you and learn your stories. Plus you can tell us how incredible and life-changing the site is! We do close for a few days around Thanksgiving and the Holidays. Other than that we pretty much work nonstop.

Yes, it does! When entering supervision hours, you will be prompted to choose what type of supervision (Non-Observational Contact or Observation with a Client) and the supervision format (In-Person, Online, or Phone Call).

When Ripley was designed, the software engineers and planners decided that Ripley would not contain any of the 18 identifiers that trigger HIPAA compliance.

In other words, by not having electronic protected health information, or ePHI as it is called it would make the tracker much more simple.

If you review the 18 client patient identifiers below, Ripely Fieldwork Tracker does not for any of those. All these identifiers below are with respect to the Patient being treated.

• Patient Name
• Address (all geographic subdivisions smaller than state, including street address, city county, and zip code)
• Dates (except years) related to an individual (such as birthdate, admission date, discharge date, date of death, and exact age if over 89)
• Telephone numbers
• Fax number
• Email address
• Social Security Number
• Medical record number
• Health plan beneficiary number
• Account number
• Certificate or license number
• Vehicle identifiers and serial numbers, including license plate numbers
• Device identifiers and serial numbers
• Web URL
• Internet Protocol (IP) Address
• Finger or voice print
• Photographic images
• Any other characteristic that could uniquely identify the individual

It is important that users do not add HIPAA-protected ePHI information to the tracker. This approach would apply to all devices, texts, emails, conversations, in which it would be important not to supply this information as a note would not require personal health information.

By all means - let us know! You can email us by filling out the form located here.

No. We are not. We are an independent organization providing you with the tools you need to (a) Organize all of your supervision as it occurs and (b) Help you keep track of the hours and documentation needed as you reach the 2,000 required hours to sit for the BCBA exam.

Thank you! We do lots of things. In addition to Ripley, we have a site that helps clinicians complete evaluations quickly, correctly, and efficiently. This evaluation tool will be incredible, but is still in development. When it is done, we are happy to let you know so you can be part of the first pilot group.
