Ethics Training – Ethics of Supervision in the Field of Applied Behavior Analysis

In the third installment of our Ethics in Practice Training series, we reviewed Section 5 of the BACB Professional and Ethics Compliance Code. Using 5.0 Behavior Analysts as Supervisors as a framework, we looked beyond the actual code to discuss the necessity of Supervisors to strive for excellence at all times, and the consequences in the field of behavior analysis when professionals charged with carrying forward the profession fail to carry out their responsibilities in these following areas:

• Supervisory Competence
• Supervisory Volume
• Supervisory Delegation
• Designing Effective Supervision and Training
• Communication of Supervision Conditions
• Providing Feedback to Supervisees
• Evaluating the Effects of Supervision
