Overview
The content form this module is taken from the BCBA Task List (5th Edition). Section 1: Applications, H. Selecting and Managing Interventions and I. Personal Supervision and Management.
- Monitor client progress and treatment integrity.
- Make data-based decisions about the effectiveness of the intervention and the need for treatment revision.
- Make data-based decisions about the need for ongoing services.
- Collaborate with others who support and/or provide services to clients. State the reasons for using behavior-analytic supervision and the potential risks of ineffective supervision (e.g., poor client outcomes, poor supervisee performance).
- Establish clear performance expectations for the supervisor and supervisee.
- Select supervision goals based on an assessment of the supervisee’s skills.
- Train personnel to competently perform assessment and intervention procedures.
- Use performance monitoring, feedback, and reinforcement systems.
- Use function-based strategies to improve personnel performance.
- Evaluate the effects of supervision (e.g., on client outcomes, on supervisee repertoires).
- When a target behavior is to be decreased, select an acceptable alternative behavior to be established or increased.
- Use a functional assessment approach (e.g., performance diagnostics) to identify variables affecting personnel performance.
Learning Outcomes
- Students will consider how to use data to support treatment decisions and evaluate treatment integrity.
- Students will critically analyse peer reviewed literature to guide their decision making about choosing and evaluating behaviour change interventions.
- Students will explain how the techniques used in applied behaviour analysis can be applied to the supervision of trainee behaviour analysts.
