This “Supervision and Management” course is designed to equip supervisors in applied behavior analysis (ABA) with the foundational knowledge and skills needed to foster effective, ethical, and inclusive supervisory practices. Starting with an introduction to the benefits of supervision, the course delves into critical aspects of managing and guiding supervisees. Each lesson explores a specific area of supervision, from establishing effective supervisory relationships to selecting individualized supervision goals. The course also highlights the importance of equity in supervision and encourages the integration of culturally responsive strategies. Through video lectures, interactive activities like statement exercises, drag-and-drop word matching, crosswords, and fill-in quizzes, participants will engage with the content in varied, hands-on ways.
In later lessons, the course focuses on performance management techniques and function-based supervision practices, emphasizing strategies that are grounded in evidence-based approaches. Participants will also learn about data-based decision-making, which ensures that supervisory practices are driven by measurable outcomes. The course concludes with a comprehensive summary activity to reinforce key concepts and promote fluency in supervision skills. By the end of this course, supervisors will be well-prepared to support the professional growth of their supervisees, promote ethical practice, and contribute to positive client outcomes, all while creating a safe, inclusive, and supportive learning environment.
