Supervising in Clinical Settings

Description

ASD is a complex neurological disorder. There are many individuals involved in the care of clients with ASD. The more complex the medical and behavioral issues are with the client, the more stakeholders are involved. As the BCBA, you are often at the center of care coordination based on the amount and type of intervention ABA provides. It is necessary to consider the interprofessional interactions amongst you and other stakeholders and what your role is in the oversight of the client’s treatment including the care coordination that is needed to achieve successful outcomes. This complicates supervision and training of staff, student, and parent activities related to the case. This level of complexity within the system requires highly developed skills in time management and organization. This presentation will guide attendees in the utilization of performance measures for a variety of skills from treatment implementation to professionalism to assist in the development and monitoring of a multitude of skills assisting the BCBA with providing effective care and staff oversight within complex clinical settings.
