Supervision and Training Bundle

The effectiveness of behavior analytic interventions hinges on how well we can train parents and other caregivers to implement behavioral strategies in the natural environment. The purpose of this webinar is to review parent training materials, policies and procedures, and practices that we use to effectively train parents. Resources that help support effective parent training are also discussed. Participants will learn how to conduct more structured parent training and will receive examples to documents that can be used when conducting parent training. Learning Objectives:

1. Participants will be able to explain recommended guidelines for parent training
2. Participants will be able to explain at least 3 recommendations for parent training and coaching
3. Participants will be able to explain appreciative inquiry and how to apply it within parent training
4. Participants will be able to apply at least 1 strategy for collaborating with parents
5. Participants will be able to apply at least 1 strategy for documenting parent training activities

The Behavior Analyst Certification Board provides guidelines to Board Certified Behavior Analysts for provision of effective supervision. However, discussions on social media forums such as Facebook raise concerns about the quality of supervision received by students in the field of Behavior Analysis. This webinar focuses on discussing key components in providing effective supervision, teaching supervisees to engage in problem solving using the evidence based practice framework, and how to promote behavior analytic skills over solely implementing interventions. The webinar provides information to attendees about how to provide effective supervision to supervisees in accordance with BACB® guidelines for supervision and the Professional and Ethical Compliance Code. A large focus is placed on teaching supervisees to problem solve, which is a required topic in the BACB® supervision curriculum.

Learning Objectives:

1. Explain the difference between an analyst and interventionist
2. Explain the 3 prongs of the Evidence-Based Practice Model
3. Identify how the EBP model is different from empirically supported treatments.
4. Explain how the BACB® PECC supports the use of the three pronged EBP model
5. Train others to apply the 3 pronged EBP model
6. Identify evidence-based methods for teaching problem solving

Behavior analysts work in an ever changing environment where it is crucial to maintain interaction with peers and mentors to provide the most effective access to our science as possible. The purpose of this presentation is to explore a few stories of how specific clients or "problems" have resulted in important personal discoveries within the science of behavior analysis. Broad scale technological advancements are an incredible feat to achieve for our science. However, sometimes the most important accomplishments come from the technologies we develop specific to a certain client or experience that we can then more broadly apply to the work we do as behavior analysts. Most often the problem you seek to solve is vastly different from the actual reason for lack of progress in the first place. Attendees of this presentation should leave with a sense of how to pinpoint the relevant problem and develop solutions for solving it.  Learning Objectives 

1. Attendees will be able to describe how to approach at least 1 barrier to learning
2. Attendees will be able to describe why the analysis in behavior analysis is a crucial component of the work behavior analysts do day in and day out 

This course meets the requirements for the 8 hour supervision training 2.0 required by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board. This training program is based on the BACB Supervisor Training Curriculum Outline (2.0) but is offered independent of the BACB.
