Description: Supervision and training of individuals seeking BCBA/BCaBA certification as well as the ongoing supervision of BCaBAs and RBTs has become an increasing responsibility for BCBAs over the past several years. Due to the large volume of new professionals entering the field of applied behavior analysis, our field is growing at a substantial rate. More than ever, this growth requires BCBAs to ensure proper supervision and development of new professionals in order to maintain high quality in our field and to ensure that the treatment consumers receive is appropriate. This workshop will focus on reviewing the most recent changes to the BACB supervision and experience standards as well as several key components of effective supervision to facilitate quality training and development of candidates. Specifically, practical strategies will be discussed to help BCBA supervisors utilize time effectively and efficiently while providing practical, individualized supervision and training. Topics discussed will include curriculum development, organizational tools for tracking skill competency and training topics, as well as strategies for providing effective group supervision, and the importance of Behavioral Skills Training in developing a practical skill set among supervisees. |
