Supervision is a key aspect of clinical training programs, yet there is a lack of research on this important subject. The research deficit creates serious problems in the both the evaluation and supervision of trainees in clinical professions. The available literature, which is primarily found in the clinical psychology literature, demonstrates that remediation of trainees is a complex process that requires supervisors to develop explicit guidelines prior to engaging in remediation and following procedures that emphasize effective remediation and due process.
One of the few resources for developing supervision remediation plans is the American Psychological Association’s (APA) Competency Remediation Plan (CRP). This course presents the CRP as a guideline to creating a plan for trainees whose performance requires remediation, along with a summary of the published literature on supervision and remediation in related fields.
This course goes beyond the current BCBA and BCaBA Task Lists by focusing on the development and implementation of remediation plans for supervision trainees—identifying performance deficits, designing structured competency remediation using the APA Competency Remediation Plan (CRP) framework, and incorporating due-process safeguards—topics not explicitly covered in standard task list content. It is behavior-analytic in nature, grounded in evidence-based supervision practices, data-driven competency assessment, and structured feedback loops. The course is designed specifically for certified and aspiring behavior analysts with supervisory responsibilities, equipping them with practical, ethically grounded tools to assess, remediate, and support trainee performance effectively.
