Supervision CEU: Your Client Is NOT Your Customer

The conventional framing of ABA service delivery places the client — the individual receiving behavior-analytic services — at the center of every decision. That framing is clinically appropriate in most contexts.

Course Description

In traditional models of ABA, the focus is primarily on the client receiving services. However, this presentation challenges this paradigm by proposing a radical shift in perspective: viewing the RBT as the customer. By prioritizing the needs, well-being, and professional development of RBTs, supervisors and organizations can cultivate a culture of excellence and sustainability in ABA practice. Drawing from principles of customer-centricity and OBM, this session will explore practical strategies for implementing a team-centered approach to quality care that ultimately benefits both RBTs and the clients they serve.

What You'll Learn

  1. Explain the concept of viewing the RBT as the customer and its implications for promoting quality care and professional development within ABA.
  2. Describe practical strategies for prioritizing the needs and well-being of RBTs, including methods for fostering a supportive team culture and providing meaningful feedback and recognition.
  3. Describe strategies for increasing the mastery, autonomy, and purpose of team members within the organization for overall performance.
