The three common supervision issues that I think will be most challenging for me are managing supervision with other responsibilities, providing effective and individually-tailored supervision to each supervisee, and deciding how to act when an RBT/supervisee is not performing to standards. These challenges can be addressed through the use of various strategies and resources.
Managing Supervision With Other Responsibilities: Time management is incredibly important in order to effectively manage multiple roles as a supervisor while still providing quality services. One strategy would be utilizing calendar apps or dedicated software such as Google Calendar (Nguyen & Doan, 2019) or Timely (Timelycalendar, 2021). By setting up reminders for meetings and tasks on these platforms prior to the actual sessions it can help provide structure and organization allowing for more efficient use of time. Additionally, making a checklist of things that need to get done before the start of the session helps ensure all tasks are completed in a timely manner (Gelb et al., 2020). Lastly, delegation can also help free up time so that more attention can be devoted towards direct service delivery (Durkin & Kingman-Brundage, 2020).
Deciding How To Act When An RBT/Supervisee Is Not Performing To Standards: This issue presents a difficult situation especially if weaker performance persists despite practicing different techniques suggested by the supervisor. Depending on how severe it becomes there are certain measures one must take within professional conduct guidelines – both ethical codes specific to BCBAs® and BACBs® ·as well informing relevant authorities if necessary—which should be discussed beforehand with both parties at the start of supervision periods so they know what actions might transpire if performance does not meet required standards; this helps create an atmosphere where expectations are clear right away thus helping avoid confusion later down the road when problems arise (Kilgore & Jenson 2012). Establishing measurable goals early on also helps keep track of progress throughout sessions so supervisors have evidence when making decisions about possible corrective action plans (Mishra et al., 2014). Ultimately, supervisors should remember why they chose this profession – helping others succeed – even when faced with adversity because it’s essential in keeping motivation intact despite setbacks along the way which ultimately provides better experiences overall leading towards success eventually attained by all involved parties.
