Abstract:
Supervising other behavior change agents is commonly a primary responsibility for Board Certified Behavior Analysts® (BCBAs®). The Supervision Training Curriculum (2.0) produced by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board® (BACB®) outlines the supervision content that all BCBAs are supposed to be trained in. The primary purpose of this study was to analyze the extent to which Registered Behavior Technicians® (RBTs®) reported supervision experiences aligned with the expectations outlined in the Supervision Training Curriculum (2.0) as a way to gauge common practices for supervising RBTs. A 96-item survey consisting of questions adapted from the Supervision Training Curriculum (2.0) was created and administered using Qualtrics™. The survey was completed by 936 individuals who reported currently or formerly holding an RBT certification. The results indicated that reported supervision practices vary in their alignment with the supervision training curriculum according to RBTs.
