Supervision quality in ABA is typically evaluated from the supervisor's perspective — through self-assessment, clinical director observation, and the performance outcomes of the practitioners being supervised. What is systematically underutilized is the perspective of the practitioners being supervised: the RBTs who experience supervisory behavior directly, who have an immediate and visceral sense of what helps them perform better versus what undermines their confidence or compliance, and who carry the consequences of inadequate supervision most directly into every direct service session they conduct.

Join Free →Quality supervision is imperative to ensure both effective treatment to the populations we serve, as well as ensuring the proper development of the next generation of BCBAs. BCBAs often rely on past experience with their previous supervisors to guide their supervision styles, but an often overlooked source of feedback is directly from the RBTs we supervise. This presentation will review submissions by RBTs across the country, highlighting specific areas they feel their supervisors can improve.
