Our Next Guest: A Conversation with Drs. Bridget Taylor & Tyra Sellers

Supervising others is a necessary component of most Board Certified Behavior Analysts’® (BCBA®) practices. Many certified individuals have not received explicit training to develop the repertoires needed to provide high-quality supervision. The Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts (2020) outlines the expectations for BCBAs supervising anyone implementing behavior analytic services for which the BCBA is responsible.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of the presentation, participants will be able to:

  1. Participants will be able to identify the general expectations for supervisors from the Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts (2020).
  2. Participants will be able to identify at least 2 strategies for engaging in high-quality supervision that meet the requirements of the Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts (2020).
  3. Participants will be able to identify at least 2 strategies for incorporating ethics into supervision content.
