Join me and Motivity for a FREE 1.0 Supervision CE.

"Teaching Through the Tablet: Providing High-Quality Remote Supervision"

📆 August 27th
🕐 1-2 pm EST
🎥 Behaviorlive

Abstract: As remote supervision becomes increasingly common across service settings, behavior analysts are tasked with maintaining effective, ethical, and responsive supervisory practices. Rather than viewing remote supervision as inherently beneficial or problematic, this presentation examines the variables that influence supervision effectiveness and explores the conditions under which remote supervision promotes meaningful outcomes for supervisors, supervisees, and clients. Practical strategies for establishing supervisory systems, providing in-the-moment coaching, delivering performance feedback, and promoting technician independence will be discussed. Participants will explore how remote supervision can strengthen supervisory practices by requiring greater precision in observation, communication, and teaching. Common challenges and practical solutions will be examined through a behavior analytic lens, emphasizing the importance of context when evaluating supervision outcomes.

You can be an amazing BCBA and still feel stretched by parent training.

Because parent training asks you to use a different set of skills than direct work with clients.

You are not just teaching a strategy.
You are reading the room.
Listening for barriers.
Building trust.
Translating behavior science into real life.
Helping caregivers feel capable enough to try again.

That is complex work.
So if parent training feels harder than it “should,” that does not mean you are bad at it. It may mean you need more practical tools for the caregiver conversations that do not fit neatly into a treatment plan box.

Backed by the science of behavior.
Built for real families.
Helpful for the humans on both sides of the table.

Dear ABA Professionals, you didn't get a thank you today. Maybe not yesterday either. But somewhere, a child reached for your hand instead of pulling away. A parent slept a little easier. A skill that didn't exist six months ago just... showed up.

Nobody clapped. Nobody posted about it. But it happened. Because of you. So let us say what no one said - thank you. For today. For tomorrow. And for every quiet moment in between that only you will ever know.
