Overview

This guide is specifically designed for supervisors of trainees completing fieldwork requirements for the Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) credential, to ensure a well-planned and well-documented fieldwork experience.  Supervisors have a significant responsibility to plan, sequence, implement, and track their supervisee's fieldwork and skill acquisition. This guide was created to align with the Board-Certified Behavior Analyst Task List, providing a structured curriculum to support the many responsibilities of a supervisor, and covering a wide range of topics. The book includes instructions for group and individual supervision activities, homework activities for supervisees, and methods of assessing skills. It is designed to support the supervisor by covering all aspects key to supervision. Its many additional materials are designed to maximize the supervisor's use of time, and to gauge the effectiveness of their work. It is evidence-based and practically oriented, and will benefit the supervisor as well as the trainee.

Author Information

Dr. Tonya Davis is a Professor at Baylor University where she teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in applied behavior analysis. In 2010, she founded the Applied Behavior Analysis graduate program at Baylor University as well as the university-affiliated applied behavior analysis clinic where students completed a portion of their supervised fieldwork. Within this capacity, Dr. Davis developed and implemented supervision activities for numerous graduate students. Dr. Davis’ research revolves around her primary goal of ensuring children with developmental and intellectual disabilities have access to the most effective interventions across a variety of settings. This includes two lines of research, first developing approaches support pre- and in-service professionals to implement evidence-based practices. The second is evaluating interventions to reduce challenging behavior, focusing on approaches to address barriers of implementing interventions in homes and schools. Dr. Jessica Akers is an Assistant Professor at Baylor University where she teaches courses in the applied behavior analysis program. Dr. Akers serves as the practicum coordinator which entails directing and managing the field experience course within the program. In this role, Dr. Akers oversees the supervision of graduate students accumulating hours for certification. Dr. Akers’ research interests include strategies for promoting appropriate social and play skills in individuals with autism and related disabilities and identifying effective procedures for training caregivers and professionals to implement behavior analytic interventions.
