Abstract
ABSTRACT This study evaluated a systematic method of training and evaluating supervisors in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) settings. Using a concurrent multiple baseline across subjects design, this study assessed the use of a training protocol designed to teach masters’ and doctoral-level Board Certified Behavior Analysts® (BCBA®s/BCBA-D®s) to supervise therapists administering discrete trial teaching (DTT) sessions for children with autism spectrum disorder. Therapists’ performances before and during training for their supervisors was also assessed. Results revealed that the implementation of systematic supervision training improved supervisor and therapist performances when compared to baseline values.
