Ethics CEU: Ethical Foundations for Assessing and Building Tiered Supervisory Competence | Supervision BCBA CEU Credits: 2

Supervisory competence in applied behavior analysis represents a critical yet underdeveloped area of professional practice. While the BACB task list and the Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts (ECBA) provide frameworks for clinical competence, the translation of these frameworks into structured, tiered supervision systems has received insufficient attention in both training programs and practice settings.

Course Description

This session will use the ECBA along with the current BCBA and RBT task lists as a jumping off point for structuring supervision systems. $20.00Original price was: $20.00.$16.00Current price is: $16.00. When considering behavior analytic supervision, the Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts (ECBA; BACB, 2020) provides a helpful framework for structuring supervision, however behavior analysts may have very little contact with education or training on building a repertoire as a supervisor. Supervisory Competence in ABA is a crucial aspect of effective supervision practices. This session will use the ECBA along with the current BCBA and RBT task lists as a jumping off point for structuring supervision systems. Supervisory Competence in ABA is supported by resources for self-assessment of supervision skill set in context (Dreyfus & Dreyfus, 1980; Ala'i, 2019; Brodhead, Quigley, & Wilczynski, 2018, Leland, 2024), and review a decision making model for tiered supervision system design in alignment with the ECBA.
