Troy University Designing a Management System Paper

As a BCBA, you will be responsible for ensuring your technicians and supervisees are highly trained, carry through with programs, and meet all other performance expectations, such as turning in data sheets and collecting accurate data.

Instructions

Building on your last assignment, imagine you are a behavior analyst who has developed a verbal behavior program for a client. You are planning to train the behavior technician who will be implementing the program. Complete the following:

Select one of the verbal operants from last week as the target for the verbal behavior program.

Describe your process for training the behavior technician, and justify your choices based on best practice in the literature. 

• What will you cover in your first training sessions? Include a justification for why the verbal operant was selected for the hypothetical client.
• Include your BST plan for the selected verbal operant from the previous week.

How will you know that they have mastered the training objectives?

• Explain in detail how you will ensure the behavior technician will follow through with the verbal behavior program (for example, use of fidelity checklists, frequency and duration of supervision sessions). 
• What type of documentation will you use when conducting supervision sessions? 
• Include a fidelity checklist for teaching the verbal operant selected.
• How often will you observe the behavior technician and for how long?

How will feedback be delivered?

• Describe how you would set up a management system to ensure that your behavior technician will continue to perform at a high level. 

What will you do to maintain ongoing supervision?

• Describe your system if performance issues arise. 
• How will you assess the situation and decide on a plan of action?
• Explain how compassionate supervisory practices were incorporated into the management system.
