“The authors have created a truly valuable resource for those beginning their journey towards a credential as a behavior analyst. Supervision will be most effective when both the supervisor and the supervisee are well-prepared for the experience. This book is full of practical suggestions and activities that help a supervisee take full advantage of his or her opportunities.” -Linda A. LeBlanc, PhD, BCBA-D, |
This long-awaited resource is the first to focus specifically on orienting and guiding trainees in the field of behavior analysis through the practicum and supervised experience. Clear and succinct, it provides comprehensive information on the competencies as required by the Fifth Edition the BACB® Task List. Going beyond the basic nuts and bolts of skill and knowledge requirements, the text prepares students for the day-to-day realities of the supervised practicum experience. It describes the process of locating a site, finding and working with supervisors and peers, and adhering to professional and ethical guidelines. Including seasoned advice on concluding the practicum, getting ready for the board exam, and developing a professional portfolio, this unique resource prepares behavior analyst trainees for employment and beyond.
Real-life examples and case scenarios help students gain an in-depth understanding of requisite competencies. Abundant performance monitoring checklists and sample forms—conveniently downloadable—further reinforce knowledge. This book is also a useful resource for practicing behavior analysts guiding trainees under their supervision.

RBT Materials
|
We are working in collaboration with Moorpark Community College to provide an online course designed to prepare students who wish to obtain the Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) credential. Our course meets the 40-hour RBT training requirement outlined by the BACB. In addition, we offer a supplemental in-person course for students who wish to practice and receive feedback on skills they acquired through their online coursework.

BCBA Supervision Guide
|
With assistance from Meline Pogosjana and Marnie Shapiro, we have created a Structured Supervision Guide to assist Supervisors in mentoring their BCBA Candidates. The directions and readings for competencies in this folder are suggestions to help narrow the focus of supervision activities and enable supervisors to have systematic procedures. Compilation of this work constitutes evidence that the supervised experience activities have been completed. For more information, please Click Here |
Developing a Culture of Care
|
Supervisors, as leaders in the profession of behavior analysis, are responsible for provision of services as well as the competence of emerging behavior analysts. However, most supervisors have not received formal training to provide effective training or to motivate individuals under their care.
In this brief presentation, Dr. Kazemi discusses what supervisees report about caring supervisors and tips for providing such supervision and taking questions. |

Conflict Resolution Training
|
Workplace conflict is a pressing issue that affects employees in various fields with various levels of work experience. Based on a recent survey we took of BCBA’s, it is clear that there is a lack of conflict resolution training, which may be contributing to high rates of job turnover and low levels of job satisfaction. Based on the results of the survey, we have been developing and validating a step-by-step decision-making tree to be used in various workplace settings. Through the development and implementation of our conflict resolution management program, we hope to reduce the rates of workplace conflict and increase job satisfaction.
