2. An employee of a government agency in a subdoctorate position who uses the word “assistant” or “associate” after the title and who is supervised by a doctorate position employee who is licensed as a behavior analyst, including a temporary licensee.

3. A matriculated graduate student, or a trainee whose activities are part of a defined behavior analysis program of study, practicum, intensive practicum or supervised independent fieldwork.

5. A person in the employ of Arizona state university, northern Arizona university, the university of Arizona or another regionally accredited university in this state if the services are a part of the faculty duties of that person's salaried position and the person is participating in a graduate program.

6. A noncredentialed individual who delivers applied behavior analysis services under the extended authority and direction of a licensed behavior analyst. The individual may not claim to be a professional behavior analyst and must use a title indicating the person's nonprofessional status, such as “ABA technician”, “behavior technician” or “tutor”.
