From the Student Analysts

"I started working at FBS in 2022 as a paraprofessional. During my time at FBS, our leadership team has provided numerous opportunities for growth and development in the field of ABA. ...FBS has always supported me and my goals. In January of 2025, I joined the student analyst program and started graduate courses at FIT to work toward becoming a BCBA. My experience in this program has been so positive, and I have been offered support and consistent supervision from some amazing BCBA’s. Now halfway through my program, I feel prepared and confident in my abilities...to continue growing into a competent and capable BCBA. FBS has provided me with such a wonderful experience through this program. I highly recommend pursuing fieldwork and supervision hours through this great company!"
