ABA on Tap is proud to share a pour with Kamila Jacob (Part 2 of 2):

In this episode, we're joined by Kamila Iacob, BCBA, the co-founder of MentraTrack, to discuss the past, present, and future of ABA supervision. Tired of the administrative burdens and disconnected systems plaguing fieldwork, Kamila channeled her clinical expertise into creating a platform that empowers both supervisors and trainees. We’ll explore how MentraTrack moves beyond just tracking hours to focus on the soft skills that truly define a competent BCBA.

Episode Breakdown:

• The Problem with Paperwork: Kamila shares her personal journey from BCBA to tech innovator, detailing the pain points of fieldwork that led her to develop MentraTrack. Learn how she identified the gaps in traditional supervision models and how her platform was built to address them head-on.
• From Compliance to Competence: Discover why Kamila believes that "checking boxes" is not enough to prepare future BCBAs. We'll dive into the importance of developing clinical judgment, ethical reasoning, and professional communication skills that are critical for success in the field.
• AI in Action: We’ll explore the AI-powered features of MentraTrack, such as the SMART Goal Generator and Assessment Tool, and discuss how technology can make supervision more personalized and effective. Kamila offers a glimpse into how these innovations help supervisors focus on coaching rather than compliance.
• A Better Way Forward: Kamila outlines her vision for the future of ABA supervision—one that is scalable, connected, and focused on growth. She provides advice for both trainees navigating their fieldwork and supervisors looking to enhance their mentorship.
