Course Description

This session examines how supervisory practices shape clinical quality in ABA and offers a practical framework for building brave, bidirectional feedback cultures. Using current BACB data and a 'downstream impact' model, the talk highlights risks of poor supervision and mismatches between confidence and competence. Participants learn to front-load supervision with explicit feedback agreements; solicit, receive, implement, and deliver feedback that is specific, compassionate, culturally responsive, and socially valid.

What You'll Learn

  1. Describe the downstream impact model and explain how supervisory practices directly shape clinical quality.
  2. Apply strategies for delivering specific, compassionate, and culturally responsive feedback within supervisory relationships.
  3. Design feedback agreements and micro-BST procedures to promote bidirectional feedback and psychological safety.
