Mastering the Supervision Task List: From Checkboxes to Confident Clinicians


Listen Later

When it comes to BCBA supervision, are we just checking boxes or shaping confident, ethical clinicians? In this episode, we unpack how to move beyond paperwork to create meaningful, individualized supervision that actually prepares our trainees for real-world practice.

We talk about the parallels between supervision and parenting—knowing when to let go, when to guide, and how to build independence with purpose. You’ll hear why the task list is an essential foundation but not the whole picture and how to embed soft skills like collaboration, communication, and clinical judgment into every supervision plan.

We also share strategies for feedback that sticks, from in-the-moment coaching to structured reflection sessions, and ways to make data-driven decisions about your supervisee’s growth. If you’ve ever wondered how to turn the supervision process into something more human, this episode is for you.

What’s Inside:

  • Turning task list items into real-life competence
  • Strategies for feedback, reflection, and growth
  • Balancing structure with individualized supervision
