What is required for someone to serve as your official RBT supervisor in an agency?

To serve as your official RBT supervisor within an agency, the supervisor must meet specific qualifications established by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB). These qualifications ensure that the supervisor is properly trained and credentialed, which is essential for providing effective guidance and oversight to RBTs. The BACB has set clear standards regarding the educational background and certification necessary for supervisors, which typically includes holding a relevant certification, such as being a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) or a Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst (BCaBA), along with adherence to ethical and professional standards in the field of behavior analysis. This structure is designed to promote high-quality supervision and to ensure that RBTs are supported in their practice by knowledgeable professionals.
