Assessment tools do have characteristics in common, and a big one is the assessor must already have an understanding and knowledge of capturing client attention, delivering the SD, prompting and prompt fading, data measurement, and conducting a thorough interview to gather important information about client functioning. For this reason, although some organizations will assign non-BCBAs to conduct assessments it is critical that the assessor (regardless of certification level) have the appropriate skillset and training to administer an assessment.\u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eIt is also important to recognize that the client's needs should guide assessment tool selection, and not just the tools that are available, the BCBA preference of tool, or other non-critical decision factors. Many organizations may only have 1 or 2 assessment tool options, which would then mean the clients served would need to be narrowed to the ones most appropriate for the assessment tools (e.g. if an organization does not have an appropriate assessment tool for early intervention, then early intervention clients should not be admitted).\u0026nbsp;\u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eLastly, let's not forget that completing a thorough assessment is meaningless if it isn't then connected to goal setting. What was the point of identifying barriers to learning, maladaptive behaviors, and skill deficits impeding daily functioning, if these goals never show up in the treatment plan? Or are never addressed in therapy? It is possible to overfocus on the assessment tool to the point that important, necessary daily life skills get neglected. For example: assuming that because a client has \"filled\" an assessment grid, they are now done with therapy/have no further need of intervention.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eIf the assessment (when I use the word \"assessment\", I mean a combination of record review, interview, observation, and direct skill probing) identifies Gross Motor Skills, Manding, and Vocal Imitation as areas of significant concern, then programming for those areas should be reflected in the treatment plan. The absence of this, is often seen in \"cookie-cutter interventions\". Cookie-Cutter interventions can be recognized by their disconnect from the individual priorities or high need areas, and by their generic replication across multiple clients.

Your employer and/or the funding source will have specific requirements for how reports must be written. It's also important to consider the target audience: who is going to read the report? Reports are often written in very technical language that may be difficult for laypersons to understand, which means that someone needs to interpret the report to laypersons and review each section in detail. When in doubt, follow the report guidelines communicated to you by your employer, or the funding source.\u003c/i\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/i\u003e\n\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/i\u003e\nSo let's jump in to some very generalized tips to clinical report writing:\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI already mentioned above, but before even starting the report the assessment data are KEY. Having organized, accurate information (including any graphs or data sheets) at your fingertips will save SO much time when sitting down to write the report. Random pieces of paper scattered all over your desk? Not so much.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFollow the template provided to you. Your employer should have given you a report template to use (which can often vary from one funder to the next). Following the template saves time, and decreases the chances you will have to make tons of edits later. If your employer embedded drop down menus into their template? Gold star for them. If you work for yourself, \u003cb\u003emake a template\u003c/b\u003e. It saves time.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf possible (because this may not be your choice), use an electronic data management system for reports. An electronic system will store collected program data, and generate its own graphs, so when it comes time to update the initial report you will save SO much time by not having to enter all this information in yourself. Oh and by the way, the amount of time you can bill for report writing will be a drop in the bucket compared to how much time it takes you to write it. So saving time in this process will be suuuuuper important.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlways, always, always, always --\u0026gt; read your completed report multiple times before submitting.

Did you fall into the harmful way of thinking that once you became certified, you now wear an invisible cape and can solve all problems? Or, did you enter this field thinking you could be ALL things to ALL people? Both assumptions are incorrect, and inevitably harmful because of the let down that will occur when you realize that you actually are not without flaw. Like many other caring/serving professions, such as teachers, social workers, etc., ABA professionals often place unrealistic expectations on themselves to be perfect, to know everything, and to be able to help everyone. That just isn't possible, and placing impossible to acquire expectations on yourself just sets you up for failure. It is \u003cu\u003ecrucial\u003c/u\u003e to know/establish your professional identity, and discover how you can best use your unique gifts in this field. \u0026nbsp;Do you work best with younger or older clients? Which parts of the day are you most productive? What type of staff personalities do you mesh well with, and which types are like combining oil and water?? As providers/practitioners, we are all different, with varying strengths and weak areas, and sometimes what feels like professional burnout can really be the result of\u0026nbsp;a client that needs to be referred out, a lack of support or training for your role, or a company that doesn't need/is unwilling to recognize what you have to offer.\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cu\u003eIssue #2: Your Employer\u003c/u\u003e - Many, not all of course, but many, ABA employers have systems and procedures in place that actually can encourage professional burnout. When employees feel isolated from colleagues and distant from ownership/management, or when unrealistic caseload expectations are presented as being non-optional, staff will try to rely on their smarts and training to get them through these challenges. But sometimes, it isn't the staff that needs to change, it's the system that needs to change. How well does your employer evaluate staff for signs of professional burnout? Are boundaries or guardrails put in place so that staff are not experiencing excessive driving, highly variable scheduling, regularly dealing with resistant or uninvolved client families, or working 12 hour days 6-7 days a week? Does the work culture intentionally promote cooperation, teamwork, and open communication? How much time is spent getting to know each individual staff so that cases can be matched based on expertise and experience level, not just based on availability? Can staff (no matter their position) directly access management to voice complaints, or even just vent? How are interpersonal conflicts addressed? If at all?? Or, do direct staff know that complaining about people higher up than them will lead to swift retaliation?

In a typical BCBA position, you will have a full caseload of clients that could be served at settings spread all over town (at school, in the community, in-home), and there will be a team attached to each client. That team will depend on you and regularly need your assistance or support outside of work hours. This particular barrier is why many BCBA's choose not to accept full-time positions (that often come with billable hour requirements), and instead to contract their services or work independently.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e$$$. If you are working for a company, they often would prefer to staff a case with non-BCBA's because it is cheaper. The BCBA hours allowed by insurance are often far less than what we need to do our jobs. So money plays a big role in where your employer decides to use you, as your hourly rate is much higher than what direct staff get paid. If you work directly for a consumer, it's not uncommon for parents to contact BCBA's because they want the most credentialed person to work with their child directly. However, these parents are often unprepared for the higher hourly rate a BCBA charges. Which means consumers may not be able to afford to hire you as direct staff.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpportunities available. In this field, a tiered-delivery model is super common. What this means is unlike other therapy models, with ABA treatment there are 2 main roles: program implementer and program supervisor. Many funding sources set up their ABA therapy reimbursement based on this delivery model, which means many organizations and employers hire staff based on this delivery model. If you do a quick search for BCBA positions in your area, you will probably find that most of them are hiring at the supervisor or director level.

Whew....they should never have that problem again. Ummm, no. What about when the child has problem behaviors at Kroger, or Sams Club, or Whole Foods? Each store is different and may have differing maintaining variables, so the parent will likely need practice in each store. If this is not possible then at least during the instructions phase talk the parent through how to address the behavior across different settings.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eNot enough practice:\u003c/b\u003e Very closely related to the previous point, is letting the parent briefly jump in for rehearsal and then immediately you take over the session again. When I see this with my staff, I usually say to them: \"YOU are not the one who needs to learn this. You already did that\". Remember who the student is in parent training (the parent). They need lots and lots of practice under the watchful eyes of the team, on an ongoing basis.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eLetting the parent practice errors\u003c/b\u003e: Would you let your client practice errors? No, right? Well then why would you sit back and let the parent practice errors? Errors impede learning. Sometimes staff allow this because they feel too awkward or hesitant to correct the parent. Again, would you correct your client? Then what is the difference? You are teaching the parent a new behavior, and in order to learn effectively they need error correction procedures.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eFailure to teach concept of Reinforcement\u003c/b\u003e: This is a big one. Many times when I follow up with a parent about their parent training I hear, \"He/she just won't do (target behavior) when you guys aren't around!\". Further digging usually reveals what the actual problem is....their child expects to contact (gasp!) some reinforcement for their behavior. Many parents do not understand this, and so they approach the child outside of therapy sessions with a complex and difficult demand, that can earn...nothing. Not surprisingly, the child immediately kicks off problem behaviors. Take the time to make sure the parent understands reinforcement is the glue that makes behaviors stick. It needs to be immediate, differential, and valuable to be most effective.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eFailure to select socially valid parent training goals\u003c/b\u003e: Yes, parent training should have goals like any other intervention. This is the #1 error I see, so I'll discuss it last. As the BCBA/supervisor do you \u003ci\u003etell \u003c/i\u003ethe parents what their parent goals are? I hope not. Social validity basically means that the individuals/stakeholders requesting the treatment agree that the treatment is important and helpful to them. In order to do that, I have to work together with the parents to create parent training goals. This also provides opportunity to identify unrealistic goals (\"I want her to always be happy\"), or to help parents understand how concretely a skill needs to be broken down to intervene on it. If the parent you are working with has no input on parent goals, or refuses to participate in the goal selection process, then unfortunately, you have a \u003ca href\u003d\"http://www.iloveaba.com/2015/10/getting-parent-buy-in.html\"\u003ebigger problem\u003c/a\u003e\u0026nbsp;on your hands.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ol\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan class\u003d\"s1\" style\u003d\"border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\"\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan class\u003d\"s1\" style\u003d\"border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\"\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan class\u003d\"s1\" style\u003d\"border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\"\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"\u003eBottom line: If the parents cannot produce the same, or at least similar, behavior change results as the ABA team when they are alone with their child then parent training needs to be modified. It needs to be revised, increased, or a common pitfall has not been addressed yet. The same way you wouldn't blame the learner for not learning, you shouldn't blame the parent for ineffective parent training.

I use an oversized wall calendar, but I also store my schedule electronically in case I need to update it on the fly. As much as you can, schedule things in advance. I usually schedule out a month at a time and I block out certain days each month as \"catch up\" days. This is where I turn off the phone and focus on paperwork, or if I need to schedule something out of the ordinary (like meeting a client's new speech therapist), then I always have free spots to do so.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eTraveling Office\u003c/b\u003e: Formerly known as your car. Make sure when you head out for the work day that you have your car loaded up with any odds and ends you or your staff may need, such as extra pens, extra data sheets, supervision notes, clipboards, etc. I also carry a large therapy bag, which is loaded with my clipboard and feedback forms, pens, post its, highlighters, etc.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eMake a Supervision Binder\u003c/b\u003e: This is one of those tips I had to get from trial and error. It changed everything once I put it in place. Make a binder where you store all client information and important documents, such as: a map of the area (I found this most helpful when I was working in new states), client contact information, each client's schedule, recent notes for each case, To Do list for yourself, client school/daycare calendars, progress report due dates, etc. Put your supervision binder in your huge therapy bag, and carry it with you from one client to the next.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe To Do List\u003c/b\u003e: I make To Do lists of things to add to my To Do list. That is how much I love having a checklist. Before heading out for supervision sessions, make a To Do list for each client. This will help keep you on track once you are there with the client, the parent, and the staff. New things will pop up (of course), but get in the habit of saying \"We can talk about that in just a second, but first let me run through this checklist\". This was one of the best timesavers for me, and it helps me fully optimize my face to face time with the client when everyone is pulling me in 10 different directions.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eGet a Nice Clipboard \u0026amp; Make Your Own Data Sheets: \u003c/b\u003eThis one is the most helpful for going into schools or in the community. Places where you can't drag your huge therapy bag behind you. What I used to do is write copious notes on 50 little pieces of paper, carry that around with me, and then have the fun task of wading through that when I got home. What I do NOW, is I have a clipboard that I can store things inside. Especially when visiting a new school, always bring your ID/employee badge just in case they ask for it (stick that inside the clipboard, along with your keys and a few pens/pencils). Make simple data sheets instead of using large amounts of paper. This keeps your hands relatively free, keeps you from awkwardly asking where you can put your purse/bag, and when you don't need to take notes just tuck your clipboard under your arm, have a seat, and observe your client.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Home Office: \u003c/b\u003eYour home work space needs to be neat, free of clutter, and use a storage system that makes sense for you. For me, I keep all my learning resources together, I keep my client files together, I keep my assessment kits together, etc. Everything has its own tub, and is labeled by category. Then inside each tub, items are stored in baggies and documents are stored in file folders. I use a similar system for my computer files, everything is divided up by category. I have categories for general resources, for insurance/billing, for employer required forms/data sheets, and each client has their own file system with identical subfolders. This way when I move quickly in between various clients, each folder is set up the same way (saves lots of time when I need to find something quickly). I also insanely love templates. So I have Client Master File templates, Supervision Feedback Form templates, Parent Training Handout templates, ABC Data sheet templates....I will stop there because we'd be here all day. When I need something, I just open up a template and edit it depending on who it is for. Saves an amazing amount of time.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eGive Up 1-2 Hours Each Night\u003c/b\u003e: This tip may not be as helpful for you, depending on your schedule and how many clients you see in a day. For me, I don't see more than a few clients a day. What that usually means is I work a few hours and then I am done. Once I get home, I pull out my supervision binder, flip to each client's section, and I am looking for: program changes I need to make, reminders/emails I need to send to the team, data I need to transfer to my computer, materials that need to be purchased or made, etc. I plan this time into my schedule, and do not consider my work day done until this is completed. By adding this step, I avoid getting to the middle of my work week and staying up all night catching up on things I didn't get done earlier in the week. Or worse, spending all weekend furiously updating programs or revising data sheets before I go see the client again the next week. This was such a timesaver for me! I don't work in an office setting, but this is the equivalent of not leaving the office for the day until your desk is clear ;-)\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u0026nbsp;As your work experience and confidence grow, you will learn how you work best and what level of organization you need to stay sane. More than just the stress that comes from chaos though, its important that you as the BCBA are on top of things because ....well, everyone else on the team is expecting you to be! You are the one who is expected to remember everything, always have copies with you, and update everyone of important treatment changes. It helps to fulfill that role when you develop a system, and stick to the system.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv class\u003d\"blogger-post-footer\"\u003e\u003ca href\u003dwww.iloveaba.com\u003eI Love ABA\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https://www.iloveaba.com/feeds/6622783340562487405/comments/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"https://www.iloveaba.com/2017/04/supervisor-tips-organized-bcba.html#comment-form","title":"6 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https://www.blogger.com/feeds/910085778879504657/posts/default/6622783340562487405"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https://www.blogger.com/feeds/910085778879504657/posts/default/6622783340562487405"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"https://www.iloveaba.com/2017/04/supervisor-tips-organized-bcba.html","title":"Supervisor Tips: The Organized BCBA"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Tameika Meadows, BCBA, Blog Author"},"uri":{"$t":"https://www.blogger.com/profile/17008810597417201971"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"32","height":"32","src":"//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKRu-32Kiv0YjGfVQQ0isn09_Q0rxpVUSLk206uq3faX3NIRWl2Ysmtq6cdZ5IPewos6C9xm3Fn_05hk7DBTKU0BOOraF03cyPTHWfXXjm5RyHAEAXnZ3oiK8cEXrAcg/s220/20161223_173533-1.jpg"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Bkn60jPQzn8/WOAbJIDJphI/AAAAAAAAEZ0/ESFMiFjM_zEDS2sIfKYeXwcXgBOGdKhxACLcB/s72-c/600org3.jpg","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"6"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-910085778879504657.post-1689146433949025552"},"published":{"$t":"2016-09-01T17:32:00.002-04:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2021-09-26T17:44:00.825-04:00"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"audio/video post"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"BCBA"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Staff training"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"ABA"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Supervisor Tips"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"Maximizing the Effectiveness of In-Home Staff - Audio Post"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-av5Pu8XFZZc/V8ian5jssII/AAAAAAAAEBM/l_z8hik69_kQs0lpeFLRz_MisdZPM5RWQCLcB/s1600/1fa4451.jpg\" style\u003d\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cimg border\u003d\"0\" height\u003d\"266\" src\u003d\"https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-av5Pu8XFZZc/V8ian5jssII/AAAAAAAAEBM/l_z8hik69_kQs0lpeFLRz_MisdZPM5RWQCLcB/s400/1fa4451.jpg\" width\u003d\"400\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2VjqEJYcP_k/V8ian_eBn8I/AAAAAAAAEBQ/7YqhSS2122Mjn3dAyCWRL9r5WPSuSumJgCLcB/s1600/productive.jpg\" style\u003d\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cimg border\u003d\"0\" height\u003d\"201\" src\u003d\"https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2VjqEJYcP_k/V8ian_eBn8I/AAAAAAAAEBQ/7YqhSS2122Mjn3dAyCWRL9r5WPSuSumJgCLcB/s400/productive.jpg\" width\u003d\"400\" /\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size: xx-small;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003ePhoto source: www.ezsolutionit.com, www.willmayo.com\u0026nbsp;\u003c/i\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size: xx-small;\"\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size: small;\"\u003ePrevious audio posts: \u003ca href\u003d\"http://www.iloveaba.com/2015/08/stages-of-intervention-audio-post.html\"\u003eStages of Intervention\u003c/a\u003e, \u003ca href\u003d\"http://www.iloveaba.com/2015/08/programming-sequence-audio-post.html\"\u003eProgramming Sequence Overview\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size: xx-small;\"\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size: small;\"\u003eIf you're new around here, audio posts allow me the opportunity to blab on about something but still keep things brief.

I suggest starting with the staff job description and building from there when creating your feedback forms. For example, typical direct staff job duties can include implementing the treatment plan, accurate data collection, and appropriately conducting reinforcer preference assessments. For those indirect areas, I like to include areas such as professionalism (e.g. appropriate work attire, cell phone used only for emergencies), initiative (e.g. asking for supervisor help when needed, promptly updating the supervisor on client changes), and personal goals. I like to have the staff select a few goals for themselves that they want to be held accountable for, and that I will assess as part of their feedback forms (e.g. increase fluency with using ABA jargon when describing client progress, teach a parent to collect ABC data, etc.)\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cspan face\u003d\"\u0026quot;calibri\u0026quot; , sans-serif\" style\u003d\"font-size: 11pt;\"\u003eFor the long term evaluations, this is where I am more interested in improved performance over time. I focus on areas such as Teaching/Instructional Control, Time Management/Organization, Behavior Reduction, Prompting \u0026amp; Prompt Fading, etc. A good tip is to incorporate content areas from the current BACB task list. This will help guide your understanding of what behavior analytic skills and concepts you should be teaching to your staff. I’m big on teaching…probably the #1 thing I do during supervision sessions is on the spot staff training, or teaching.\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cspan face\u003d\"\u0026quot;calibri\u0026quot; , sans-serif\" style\u003d\"font-size: 11pt;\"\u003eLastly, part of helping your staff reach excellence means you need to intentionally hop in the passenger seat and let them drive sometimes. What I mean by that is allowing opportunities for more of a leadership role, such as having the staff create program visuals, help you update the client’s VB-MAPP, co-lead a parent training session with you, or give input on skill acquisition goals. Giving the direct staff opportunities to learn about your role and what you do as the supervisor enhances their skillset, and I have found multiple times it can spark an interest in becoming

If you are new\nto conceptualizing treatment, this is a tool that will take you some time, but\ncould be very helpful for learning purposes.\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\n\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cspan face\u003d\"\u0026quot;calibri light\u0026quot; , sans-serif\" style\u003d\"font-size: small;\"\u003e*Recommended\nReading:\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cspan face\u003d\"\u0026quot;calibri light\u0026quot; , sans-serif\" style\u003d\"font-size: small;\"\u003eIngram,\nB.

So instead of a step by step guide (which I'm really not qualified to give) here are some suggestions based on my experiences post-certification.

On a day to day basis, what do I want my role to look like? Where do I want to work (location)? Do I want to work independently or as an employee for a company? Is licensure required in my state for me to practice as a Behavior Analyst? What is my area of expertise/what are my clinical strengths? What kind of work/life balance do I want? What are my salary expectations? Do I want to work for a large, established company with a reputation in this field? Or would I prefer a small start -up where I get to help create the vision and company mission?\u003c/i\u003e I don't recommend applying for \u003cb\u003eany\u003c/b\u003e positions until you can answer these questions.\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size: small;\"\u003eNext, its a simple matter of matching your needs as a professional to the right employer or opportunity. \"Employer\" would refer to if you want to work for someone else, either as an employee or independent contractor (IC). \"Opportunity\" would refer to if you plan to strike out on your own and consult privately or actually open a business and hire staff. Begin searching for opportunities in your local area, or widen your search if you are fine with relocation. Fire up your resume, cover letter, and some quality work samples, and begin sending them out. There is no specific place I can recommend to look for ABA work, you will likely have to look in multiple places........I suggest word of mouth, credentialing with local insurance providers, contacting local school systems, joining \u003ca href\u003d\"https://www.abainternational.org/jobs.aspx\"\u003eAIBA\u003c/a\u003e (they have a job portal), attending conferences/local events (get your face out there), etc. \u003ca href\u003d\"http://www.iloveaba.com/p/super-hero-recruitment.html\"\u003eAs I have said on my blog\u003c/a\u003e before, if you are finding it highly difficult to locate opportunities in your area then that can indicate a lack of funding, or a lack of quality providers.\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size: small;\"\u003eMy next tip is about preparing yourself, both mentally and physically, for your new role. Whether you plan to consult privately or to join \"XYZ\" agency, you want to be ready for the demands of the job. Your supervision experience or practicum should have given you the opportunity to learn the hands-on skills, and I suggest continuing to lean on your supervisor as a mentor, even after you pass the exam. This is someone who is already in the field and working, and can be a source of information and even client referrals. So for the mental preparation: don't be panicked if you get that lovely BCBA certificate in the mail and are suddenly terrified to do anything with it. Thats a normal reaction. I actually would be a bit concerned if you were newly certified and felt NO anxiety at all about serving clients. Your confidence will grow from seeing how much you help your clients, and getting great feedback from the consumers of your services. Give it time, this awesome confidence will not just pop up overnight. So for physical preparation: business cards, printer/scanner, laminator, flashcards, ABLLS \u0026amp; VB-MAPP protocols, 3 hole punch, random assortment of toys, huge carryall/tote bag, laptop case, etc.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size: small;\"\u003eMy last tip is to remember to take your Personality and Passion (P \u0026amp; P) with you as you enter the field. Your passion is what will get you through the tough moments when you have a ridiculously short deadline to complete a 15 page report, the IEP meeting you changed your whole schedule for gets moved at the last minute, or your direct staff/supervisees leave \u003ca href\u003d\"http://www.iloveaba.com/2015/09/supervisor-tips-toxic-staff-toxic.html\"\u003emuch to be desired\u003c/a\u003e. Your personality is what will set you apart. Lots of BCBA's are professional, punctual, polite, and have great experience and references. So why should a company hire \u003cb\u003eYOU\u003c/b\u003e? Well, show them what sets you apart by letting who you are shine through. If you're goofy, be goofy. If you're super type- A and rigid, don't try to hide it. There is room in this field for a wide variety of personalities, and often as a hiring supervisor I need to see the real you to get an idea of what clients to match you with. Every supervisor isn't a good match for every client or family, so its actually a good thing to be upfront and honest about your strengths, as well as your shortcomings. Its impressive when a professional can evaluate their own performance and objectively assess their own skillset. \u003c/span\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ol\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size: x-small;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c/i\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size: x-small;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c/i\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"blogger-post-footer\"\u003e\u003ca href\u003dwww.iloveaba.com\u003eI Love ABA\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https://www.iloveaba.com/feeds/4280958264158841433/comments/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"https://www.iloveaba.com/2015/09/supervisor-tips-ready-set-work.html#comment-form","title":"0 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https://www.blogger.com/feeds/910085778879504657/posts/default/4280958264158841433"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https://www.blogger.com/feeds/910085778879504657/posts/default/4280958264158841433"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"https://www.iloveaba.com/2015/09/supervisor-tips-ready-set-work.html","title":"Supervisor Tips: Ready, Set, Work!"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Tameika Meadows, BCBA, Blog Author"},"uri":{"$t":"https://www.blogger.com/profile/17008810597417201971"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"32","height":"32","src":"//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKRu-32Kiv0YjGfVQQ0isn09_Q0rxpVUSLk206uq3faX3NIRWl2Ysmtq6cdZ5IPewos6C9xm3Fn_05hk7DBTKU0BOOraF03cyPTHWfXXjm5RyHAEAXnZ3oiK8cEXrAcg/s220/20161223_173533-1.jpg"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YQ6OGPG5A8Q/VgMlCuZk0NI/AAAAAAAADlQ/Q7nPBxkXQSk/s72-c/first%2Blines.JPG","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"0"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-910085778879504657.post-9113818288036449710"},"published":{"$t":"2015-09-16T18:55:00.002-04:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2021-09-26T17:29:35.996-04:00"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"BCBA"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Staff training"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Supervisor Tips"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"Supervisor Tips: Toxic Staff, Toxic Workplace"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-I9wWiLG7UP0/Vfns7pJD3RI/AAAAAAAADj8/771bt1j2WUQ/s1600/6a00d834515c6d69e200e54f9eaa728833-640wi.jpg\" style\u003d\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cimg border\u003d\"0\" height\u003d\"266\" src\u003d\"https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-I9wWiLG7UP0/Vfns7pJD3RI/AAAAAAAADj8/771bt1j2WUQ/s400/6a00d834515c6d69e200e54f9eaa728833-640wi.jpg\" width\u003d\"400\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IPM2MXVTP6c/Vfns7m662nI/AAAAAAAADkE/lJlMoabcnVQ/s1600/bad-apple.jpg\" style\u003d\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cimg border\u003d\"0\" height\u003d\"107\" src\u003d\"https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IPM2MXVTP6c/Vfns7m662nI/AAAAAAAADkE/lJlMoabcnVQ/s400/bad-apple.jpg\" width\u003d\"400\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size: x-small;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003ePhoto source: mthai.com, thesocialclimb.wordpress.com\u003c/i\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nYou may have heard before that \"\u003ci\u003eBad company corrupts good character\u003c/i\u003e\" (1 Corinthians 15:33).\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nFrom experience, I can definitely attest to this.

They respond to change or new ideas with skepticism and criticism, so time must be taken to get them on board. They complete assignments late, or submit them on time but incomplete, so the supervisor has to take time to meet with them to go over their assignment in detail.

Firstly, what policies and procedures have you and your employer put in place to ensure the workplace remains non-toxic? How is insubordination from staff handled? If staff are rude or harsh towards clients, how is that handled? Does the hiring and interview process take into account personality, attitude, and fit into the company culture? Do you make it clear to staff that energy and positivity are \u003cu\u003ea part of their job\u003c/u\u003e? Do you communicate the need for staff to be patient and compassionate with the clients, especially when they feel the least like doing so? Do you regularly give detailed feedback (including constructive criticism) to staff, to help train them on how to respond to feedback? Are YOU providing a good model of emotional regulation?

It really is true that sometimes super disrespectful and apathetic staff are not aware their behavior is a problem.\u0026nbsp; Stay calm, and openly discuss with the employee exactly what the problems are, and be prepared to give specific examples. This should be a respectful conversation, not an argument.\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHelp them to connect the dots between what they are doing, and how it negatively impacts other staff, clients, and the supervisor/management. For example: \"You regularly fail to meet my deadlines, and often submit work 2-5 days late. When this happens, I have to rearrange my supervision schedule and priorities to add more time to review your work so I can give you feedback. This then makes me late getting my own work done, and is also stressful\". \u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCreate an action plan. Together with the employee, devise a plan for correcting their behavior. This may include some skill acquisition, for example the employee may not know how to properly respond to feedback they don't like/agree with. Determine how progress will be measured, who will conduct the evaluation of mastery, and what will happen if satisfactory progress is not made.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLastly, consider disciplinary actions. Perhaps a written reprimand, a demotion, or a reduction in salary until specific performance criteria has been achieved.\u0026nbsp; Particularly since a toxic employee is likely to shift blame, I recommend some type of self-management or evaluation. Have the employee critique their own performance such as viewing video of their sessions with a client, or collecting data on how often they arrive late to a clients home. Its pretty hard to point fingers at everyone else when looking at raw, objective data.\u003ci style\u003d\"font-size: small;\"\u003e
