Supervision
BDS offers supervision to people pursuing their certification in behavior analysis. We can also complete the Competency Assessment for people seeking to become Registered Behavior Technicians. We do this through “Within Agency” Supervision or “Outside of Agency” Supervision.
“Within Agency” Supervision is provided to people who work with this organization. Unlike with Behavior Support Staff, those persons completing this supervision do not have a limit on their driving range. We assign you to clients with the goal of helping you attain the most varied experience possible.
You don’t have to work for us to receive Supervision. If you would like a Supervision Contract that is not under the above requirements, we can complete and “Outside of Agency” Supervision Contract. Under this contract, you would need to find your own clients and pay the organization for all supervision hours (contacts and observations) that we complete. Hours for these meetings are billed to the individual supervisee at the supervisors normal hourly rate. You would then be free to complete the hours as you wished, but in alignment the board’s requirements.
Prior to either type of supervision, people requesting supervision should do the following:
- Review the sections about supervision from the board you wish to be credentialed with;
- Complete the Pre-experience Checklist;
- Review the Tip Sheet for Supervised Experience;
- Review the FAQs for the Monthly Experience System;
- Sit down with the supervisor for a meeting about informed consent and the supervision contract, ethics review, and the supervision services review to make sure we are on the same page; and
- Review current Test Content Outline to decide which skills you know or need more help with. Mark the items you know with a plus sign (+), the concepts you are not sure of with a question mark (?), and the ones you don’t know with a minus sign (-).
All of these steps are not required by the credentialing bodies. We like to make sure people have the greatest amount of information before beginning with us. We will be using the Monthly Experience System. Please understand that your supervision is pretty much like another class and requires a good bit of time and dedication.
