Invited Tutorial #228
CE Offered: BACB — 
Supervision
Best Practices in BCBA Supervision
Sunday, May 26, 2019
10:00 AM–10:50 AM
Hyatt Regency East, Ballroom Level, Grand Ballroom AB
Area: PRA; Domain: Service Delivery
BACB CE Offered. CE Instructor: Dana Reinecke, Ph.D.
Chair: Mark D. Shriver (Munroe-Meyer Institute, University of Nebraska Medical Center)
Presenting Authors: : DANA REINECKE (Capella University; SupervisorABA), CHERYL DAVIS (The Sage Colleges; SupervisorABA)
Abstract:

Several recommended practices for behavior-analytic supervision have recently been identified (e.g., Sellers, Valentino, & LeBlanc, 2016; Turner, Fischer, & Luiselli, 2016). These include establishing a committed and positive relationship, evaluating the effects of supervision, incorporating ethics and professional development, continuing a professional relationship after certification, and establishing a plan for structured competence- and performance-based evaluation. This tutorial will review specific strategies to address each of these practices. Given the recent emphasis on training and monitoring of supervisee skills throughout training (Behavior Analyst Certification Board, 2017), we will focus on how to use the BACB task list to implement competence- and performance-based evaluation throughout supervision. Additionally, we will make suggestions for the ongoing evaluation of the effects of supervision.

Instruction Level: Advanced
Target Audience:

New and experienced BACB supervisors who have completed the 8-hour supervision training.

Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the presentation, participants will be able to: (1) describe ways to establish an effective supervisor-supervisee relationship, and to continue a collegial relationship after certification is obtained; (2) describe ways to incorporate ethics and professional development into supervision; (3) describe strategies for competence- and performance-based evaluation of supervisee skills during supervision; (4) describe strategies for the ongoing evaluation of the effects of supervision.
