The supervision of professionals within the field of behavior analysis is multifaceted. With the recent and continued increase of BACB certificates (BCBA/BCaBA), the need for high-quality supervision has never been greater. Supervision has always been part of the field of ABA in different forms. In recent years, practitioners have recognized the importance of identifying a supervision model that fits both the supervisor and supervisee. While there is no one size fits all model; however, the goal for practitioners should always remain to provide high-quality clinical care and supervision for everyone we serve.  

 Learning Objectives 

1. Participants will identify the most common supervision models utilized within behavior analysis 
2. Participants will evaluate best practices in supervision and performance feedback systems. 
3. Participants will develop a supervision model that supports best practices and clinical demands
