Supervision Contract For Independent Supervision

Supervision Contract for Independent Supervision

This Supervision agreement is made on the date indicated below by and between Shyll Bowen,

BCBA (supervisor) and _______________________(supervisee) for supervision of the delivery

of applied behavior analysis services, including the following activities:

1. Conducting assessment activities related to the need for behavioral interventions;

2. Designing, implementing, and monitoring behavior analysis programs for clients;

3. Overseeing the implementation of behavior analysis programs by others;

4. Training, designing behavioral systems, and performance management; AND

5. Other activities normally performed by a behavior analyst that are directly related to behavior

analysis, such as attending planning meetings regarding the behavior analysis program,

researching the literature related to the program, talking to individuals about the program;

plus any additional activities related to oversight of behavioral programming such as

behavior analyst supervision issues, or evaluation of behavior analysts' performance. The

supervisor will determine if activities qualify.

Direct implementation of behavioral programs may not count for more than 50% of accrued

experience hours.

Examples of activities that are not appropriate as experience activities include: attending

meetings with little or no behavior analytic content, providing interventions that are not based in

behavior analysis, doing non-behavior analytic administrative activities, or any other activities

that are not directly related to behavior analysis.

appointments and the time allotted. Privacy will be respected and interruptions avoided. Any
