Can it really be 10 years since Sellers, Valentino, and LeBlanc laid out an amaing and actionable list of supervision activities for behavior analysts to follow? Yup, you're that much older! And while you're undoubtedly better than your younger self, could the field of supervision say the same thing? This week Dr. Amber Valentino joins us to share the growth of supervision research in ABA, the areas and practices where we can still improve, and a new means of objectively evaluating just how well (or...not) your supervision behaviors are going.

Learning Objectives:

1. Participants will describe the five target areas described in Sellers et al. (2016). 

2. Participants will identify why relationship building is vital in supervision. 

3. Participants will describe the advantages of using the supervision calculator. 

This episode is available for 1.0 SUPERVISION CEU.
