Welcome to the Behavior Education Connection!
In this episode, we talk about supervision for trainees in public school settings, and explore one model for implementing supervision on an ongoing basis that was started by BCBAs currently working in that environment.
Our guests for this episode are Courtney Wolfson and Allyson Matthews, both of whom are ABA Coaches with Fairfax County Public Schools.
We'll discuss:
-Considerations for beginning a supervision program in a public school setting
- Strategies for maximizing time and effort for both supervisors and trainees
-Benefits for those participating in a program such as the one described here and ideas for expanding the ways people can get involved
And more!
