ATTENTION BCBAS.
She just didn’t get it – and it was my fault!.
And I felt like a failure.
I was shocked when I walked into a clinic room to see one of the BCBA candidates I was working with giving one of the kids a piggy back ride. The learner’s plan included strategies to improve transitions but did not include piggy back rides. More concerning was this learner’s tendency to bite. I told the staff that carrying the child on her back presented an opportunity for the child to bite her and it put unnecessary strain on her back as he was 60 pounds of energy.
She could have been seriously hurt.
When I intervened she gave me her standard response: “I had a plan, you interrupted my plan.”
So did I, but it just wasn’t working!
After that, things escalated. She expressed frustration with my supervision style and I responded by saying that it’s my job to provide feedback and guidance. The conversation, while mostly professional, took a less-than supportive turn. She nearly left our company and I felt completely unable to reach her.
Clearly I needed to make a change. I took a step back, spent time reflecting on research and past supervision experiences and come up with a better plan.
The Problem with Supervision

But that’s not the end of it—the problem’s actually worse than that!
Perhaps worst of all, ABA has developed a reputation for fraudulent billing practices and having a focus on profit over client care. Insurance companies are becoming increasingly skeptical of requests for a large number of direct service hours and your trainees’ clients’ insurance coverage is at risk if sufficient progress isn’t made during services. This makes effective supervision more important than ever.
Traditional supervision is time-consuming to prepare for, or worse, just doesn’t work – and your reputation is on the line!
