Remote BCBA Supervision & Mentoring
Remote BCBA Supervision & Mentoring
Working toward your BCBA while working in a school setting presents unique opportunities, and unique challenges. It can sometimes be difficult to determine how behavior-analytic competencies, unrestricted activities, and BACB fieldwork requirements fit within your existing educational role.
I provide remote BCBA supervision with a focus on helping school-based professionals develop strong behavior-analytic skills while connecting those skills to meaningful work within educational settings.
Supervision is designed primarily for professionals working in school and educational settings, including:
Special education teachers
General education teachers
Behavior support staff
Autism support professionals
Related school-based professionals pursuing BCBA certification
Graduate students completing behavior-analytic fieldwork in educational settings
Supervision is individualized based on your professional role, experience, fieldwork opportunities, and areas for growth.
Our work may include:
Functional behavior assessment and functional thinking
Identifying and defining socially significant behavior
Selecting appropriate measurement systems
Collecting, graphing, and analyzing data
Interpreting student performance and behavioral data
Developing function-based intervention recommendations
Evaluating intervention effectiveness
Preference and skills assessments
Reinforcement and antecedent-based strategies
Generalization and maintenance
Behavior skills training
Fidelity and treatment-integrity measurement
Staff and educator training
Caregiver collaboration and training
Ethical decision-making in school environments
Interdisciplinary collaboration
Reviewing and applying behavior-analytic research
Developing professional communication and consultation skills
School professionals often already spend their days solving complex problems involving learning, behavior, environments, communication, and student independence.
Quality supervision can help you learn to examine those challenges through a behavior-analytic lens.
Together, we can identify appropriate opportunities within your professional setting to practice behavior-analytic skills while ensuring that fieldwork activities remain consistent with BACB requirements and your professional role.
Supervision is not simply about accumulating hours. My goal is to help you develop the analytical skills, ethical judgment, and confidence necessary to practice independently as a behavior analyst.
Schools are complex environments. Effective behavior analysts working in education need to understand more than behavior-change procedures.
They must know how to collaborate with teachers and families, work within multidisciplinary teams, communicate recommendations in practical language, consider classroom realities, support implementation across multiple environments, and develop interventions that are both evidence-based and feasible.
My background in special education and behavior analysis allows supervision to address both the science of behavior analysis and the realities of applying it in educational environments.
I am a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and National Board Certified special educator with more than 10 years of experience in special education.
My professional experience includes classroom teaching, autism support and leadership, transition services, educator and parent coaching, professional development, program development, and supporting students with a wide range of learning, behavioral, and developmental needs.
I hold a Master of Education in Special Education with a concentration in Applied Behavior Analysis.
Supervision may incorporate individual meetings, group supervision, observation, feedback, research review, case conceptualization, skill-development activities, and other eligible fieldwork experiences as appropriate.
Before beginning supervision, we will discuss your current position, fieldwork setting, graduate program, previous experience, and professional goals to determine whether the supervision arrangement is an appropriate fit.
All supervision is provided in accordance with current BACB requirements. Any additional supervision or consulting-supervisor requirements applicable to the supervisory relationship will be established before eligible supervision begins.
If you are pursuing your BCBA while working in a school or educational setting, I would be happy to talk with you about your current role, fieldwork opportunities, and supervision goals.
