Abstract:
Individuals seeking board certified behavior analyst (BCBA) certification and other behavior-analytic professionals (e.g., registered behavior technician) are required by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board to receive ongoing supervision from a BCBA/D as they engage in behavior-analytic activities. Although supervision standards exist for novice professionals, there are no supervision requirements for early career BCBAs. As such, the extent to and nature of ongoing supervision for early career BCBAs is unknown. Given the known challenges early career professionals face and the benefits of ongoing supervision in these critical years, it is important to fill the current gap in the literature related to ongoing supervision for early career BCBAs. As such, we conducted a survey of early career BCBAs to gather information about supervision practices, barriers, and perceptions surrounding ongoing supervision. We outline potential implications and make recommendations.
