Accruing Independent Supervision Hours During COVID-10

If you are currently accruing supervision hours as part of your path towards BCBA certification, your hours may look quite different than they have in the past, due to COVD-19.

Our team of supervisors have compiled ideas regarding unrestricted activities and video observations in light of the current situation.

Data Analysis and Graphing

Observation and Data Collection

Watch a video from youtube on a child that is engaging in behaviors that are interfering.  Develop a summary observation of that simulated observation and send it to the supervisor, along with the link to the video.  You can use this Observation Summary Report to complete the task.
