According to the BACB Supervision Training Curriculum Outline, what is the minimum percentage of total weekly ABA service hours that must be directly observed by the supervisor?
Answer: At least 5%
The BACB requires that supervisors directly observe at least 5% of the supervisee's total weekly ABA service hours.
In the Behavior Skills Training (BST) model used in ABA supervision, which sequence correctly represents the four components?
Answer: Instruct, Model, Rehearse, Feedback
BST follows the sequence of Instructions, Modeling, Rehearsal, and Feedback to build supervisee skills.
A BCBA supervisor is working with a supervisee across multiple clinic sites. Which supervision contact format best satisfies the BACB's requirement for real-time observation?
Answer: Conducting live video teleconference observation
Live video teleconference allows real-time observation and counts toward the synchronous contact requirement under BACB guidelines.
Which ethical obligation does a BCBA supervisor have when a supervisee demonstrates skill deficits that may harm a client?
Answer: Immediately restrict the supervisee's client contact until competence is demonstrated
Supervisors must prioritize client welfare and are ethically required to restrict supervisee activities that pose a risk of harm.
The competency-based approach to ABA supervision differs from time-based approaches primarily because it:
Answer: Advances supervisees based on demonstrated mastery of specific skills
Competency-based supervision advances supervisees only after they demonstrate mastery of targeted skills, not simply after accumulating hours.
When using performance monitoring in ABA supervision, which tool most directly measures the supervisee's fidelity to a treatment protocol?
Answer: Treatment integrity checklist
A treatment integrity checklist directly measures whether the supervisee implements each step of a protocol as designed.
A supervisor notices a supervisee consistently avoids delivering negative feedback to clients. According to behavioral principles, the BEST first step is to:
Answer: Conduct a functional assessment of the supervisee's avoidance behavior
Applying a functional assessment to identify the variables maintaining the supervisee's avoidance allows the supervisor to select an evidence-based intervention.
