Some Tools for Carrying Out a Proposed Process for Supervising Experience Hours for Aspiring Board Certified Behavior Analysts®

Garza et al. (2018) built a ready-to-use supervision kit for BCBA trainees. The kit gives you goal sheets, feedback forms, and BST checklists. You can copy, paste, and run them in your next meeting.

The authors did not collect new data. They stitched best-practice pieces into one smooth workflow you can follow hour by hour.

There are no outcome numbers. The paper simply shows how to line up goals, deliver feedback, and track skills in a standard way.

Sellers et al. (2016) first listed five core supervision moves: goal setting, feedback, BST, tasks, and growth. Garza et al. (2018) hands you the actual papers to do each move.

Hajiaghamohseni et al. (2021) surveyed working BCBAs and found wide swings in what supervisors actually do. The gap looks like a clash, but it is not. The survey shows the mess; Garza’s tools are the broom.

Fraidlin et al. (2023) extends the kit upward. They give new BCBAs checklists for the supervision-of-supervision phase, keeping the same tidy style.

If your supervision feels different every week, grab these forms. One goal sheet keeps the trainee on task. One feedback form keeps you on script. You save prep time and meet BACB rules without reinventing the wheel.
