BCBA supervision practice questions for BST, feedback, and treatment integrity
Supervision questions often ask whether the BCBA should observe performance, provide behavior-specific feedback, use BST, or adjust the supervisory system based on data.
Supervision clues to notice
- The problem is staff performance, not client motivation.
- A protocol exists, but treatment integrity has not been observed.
- Feedback needs to be specific, timely, and tied to measurable performance.
- The supervisor needs data before deciding whether to retrain, redesign, or monitor.
