Description
Most behavior analysts get into the field because they love working with kids and seeing the progress that their clients make with well designed interventions based on Applied Behavior Analysis. However, most behavior analysts don’t realize when they enter the field that a large part of their job will be training and supervising others implementing those procedures. Also, because the field of Applied Behavior Analysis is growing so quickly, those who earn their BCBA are expected to provide supervision to those training in Applied Behavior Analysis shortly after gaining their own certification. This is why learning to train and supervise is so important. Good supervision promotes great future practitioners, effective outcomes for our clients, and satisfaction from clients and staff. We need to make sure that those we support are getting the proper mentoring to ensure that Applied Behavior Analysis services continue to be services that people seek and that the staff and supervisors that are working in the field remain motivated to stay in the field and promote its growth. This presentation will help practitioners understand what evidence-based supervision is, how to effectively mentor others, and how to evaluate your own skills as a supervisor and set realistic goals for yourself.
