Elevate Your ABA Supervision

Elevate Your ABA Supervision Helping the field of ABA grow deeper as it continues to grow wider
Providing dedicated BCBA supervision with passion Hi y'all!

I'm Christi and I'm the founder and owner of Passion for Behavior, LLC. I've been in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) since 2006 and have worked in a variety of setting with a variety of client ages and profiles. Being that I have been a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) since 2013, I consider myself a dinosaur in the field. It's become my identified passion to help the field con

tinue to grow deeper as it continues to grow wider. The rates of BCBA certificates that are being given each year is at exponential increases. I love the science of ABA and sharing it with others; whatever capacity I'm able to do that!

We do it to parents. We do it to RBT®s. And if we're being honest, we do it to ourselves.

Confession time...
I have used the phrase "antecedent manipulation" when "move the chips out of reach" would have worked just fine.

I have said "reinforcer" to a parent when I meant "something he likes."

I have called a fun group activity a "group contingency" and watched the energy leave the room.

We know better. We just can't stop.

If your RBT® looks confused, it might not be them. Check your language first.

Every BCBA® supervisor has a conversation they're putting off right now. I know because I've been there — and I've watched what happens when you wait too long to have it. It doesn't get easier. It gets more complicated, more loaded, and harder to recover from. Say it early. Say it specifically. Say it like you're on the same team. Happy Monday.

The ethics code gives us a framework. It doesn't always give us the answer. I want to hear about the moments where you had to make a judgment call — the situations that kept you up at night. Drop it in the comments. This is a safe space.

We talk a lot about ethics in the BCBA® world — the code, the standards, the documentation. What we talk about less is whether our supervisees are actually growing under our supervision or just accumulating hours. That distinction has real consequences for every client they'll ever serve. This is what ethical supervision actually looks like.

Solo parenting a long weekend is no joke. So I did what any self-respecting behavior analyst would do — I ran a group reinforcement procedure with my own children.

First time, we worked together to fill a jar with beads (ya know, for prosocial behaviors) to earn an ice cream making ball. Second time, they spotted something at the dollar store for when we filled the jar. This most recent time? They walked in already knowing exactly what they wanted to work for.

Did they still need prompting on how to earn beads? Yes. But they owned the reinforcer — and that's where motivation starts.

That's the same thing we're doing with our clients and our staff. When reinforcement is individualized and actually meaningful, behavior changes. It doesn't matter if we're talking about a six-year-old, an adult with complex needs, or an RBT® trying to stay motivated through a hard caseload. The science works the same way.

The hard days don't disappear. But they get more manageable when the motivation is real.

Drop a comment if you've ever run a behavior procedure on your own family and felt zero shame about it.

The number one thing I hear from BCBA® supervisors about difficult conversations is "I don't know how to bring it up without making it weird." Here's how. Seven steps, every time. Save this and use it before your next hard conversation.

RBT® supervision red flags bingo — how many can you check off?

I made this bingo board and then immediately recognized three squares from my own early supervision practice. No judgment — we weren't trained for this.

How many can you check off? Drop your score in the comments.

And if this board hit a little too close to home — I made a free RBT® Supervision Tracker specifically for BCBA® supervisors who want a better system. Check out www.elevateyourabasupervision.com

Completely free. No excuses after this.

I'll go first: I think it should be. We require competency in behavior analytic content but not in the skill of actually developing another clinician. That gap has real consequences for supervisees, for clients, and for our field.

Agree or disagree — tell me why in the comments. This is worth talking about.

This is the thing nobody says out loud in the BCBA® community — being great at behavior analysis does not automatically make you great at supervising someone else. They are genuinely different skill sets and we are not trained for one of them.

If this resonates, share it. There are a lot of new supervisors out there who need to hear this.
