The supervision demands on BCBAs in school and clinic settings have never been greater. Sarah Heiniger's presentation addresses a resource constraint that most behavior analysts recognize immediately: there are not enough hours in a BCBA's day to provide the individualized, consistent, high-quality coaching that RBTs and paraeducators need to maintain procedural fidelity and continue developing as practitioners.

The problem is that BCBAs (especially those that serve in multiple roles in a school setting) are stretched incredibly thin. Coaching ends up being inconsistent or too time-intensive. Turnover also creates an added layer of difficulty. BCBAs, regardless of setting, can use AI to their advantage. In this session, you will learn how use AI to set individualized, SMART goals for their RBTs or paras aligned with the task list, create coaching scripts to use for in-the-moment or delayed feedback sessions, analyze staff performance data, best practices, and ethical considerations.
