Supervision that is Meaningful and Practical (3.0 SUP CEUs)

Create a winning process for supervising your BCBA and RBT team.

How Effective was YOUR Supervisor? A recent study found that 75% of respondents indicated they were responsible for supervising others, but a majority (54.71%) of their current employers did not provide training on effective supervisory practices. Effective supervisory practices in the field of ABA are critical to reducing turnover, increasing job satisfaction and improving services to clients on the autism spectrum.

Instructor

Chani Weissmandl

BCBA

After earning her master’s degree in special education Chani worked for seven years in the preschool in Kiryas Joel Public School in Monroe, N.Y. She started off as a special education teacher, became a BCBA and created “The ABA Center” where mainstreamed students would go to learn social, ADL and communication skills. During this time, Chani also worked for different agencies, gaining valuable experience supervising RBTs and BCBAs in training. After working as a BCBA in Kiryas Joel Public School for seven years, Chani was promoted to assistant principal. She was in a unique position of being able to use her years as a BCBA to guide her staff not only with academic issues but with behavioral issues as well. Chani brings to the table years of experience as a supervisor both through agencies and in a school environment.

Well organized and practical
