SESSION

Recommended Practices for Supervision and Mentoring of Behavior Analysts

October 22, 2021 - 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Practicing behaviour analysts and behaviour analysts often provide supervision for young professionals who are pursuing certification as behaviour analysts. Effective supervision is critical to the quality of ongoing behavioural services, the supervisee's professional development, the continued growth of the supervisor, and the overall development of our field and its’ practice. Though there are now training and CEU requirements for supervising those who are accruing hours towards the experience requirement for certification; few resources exist to guide supervisor activities and recommended practice. This presentation summarizes five overarching recommended practices for supervision with detailed strategies and resources for structuring the supervisory experience and ongoing mentorship.
