Effective BCBA supervision of RBTs and behavior analytic staff requires a complex skill set that most practitioners develop through trial, error, and informal mentorship rather than systematic training. The result is a wide range of supervisory practices in the field — some grounded in evidence-based principles, many not — and a corresponding range of supervisee outcomes, from genuine professional growth to premature burnout and departure from the field.
