One popular path is pursuing licensure as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), a specialist in applied behavior analysis who works in educational, clinical, and community settings.

Becoming a BCBA typically requires a master's degree in psychology or a related field, along with relevant coursework, supervised experience, and passing a national certification exam. Each state may have unique requirements and practical considerations.
