SUPERVISION · PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE
Responsible supervision of RBTs and BCaBAs
Requirements, performance, feedback, and ethical decisions
About this course
Develop supervision that protects clients and supports verifiable decisions. Organize supervisory responsibilities, review ongoing supervision requirements for RBTs and BCaBAs, observe performance, and provide useful feedback.
Practice responding to notices and disciplinary actions, distinguishing allegations from effective restrictions, and preparing information for a BACB Notice of Alleged Violation when supported facts warrant it. Eight modules include guided readings, supervision calculations, feedback conversations, and fictional cases.
