This episode of The Behavioral View podcast focuses on supervision strategies for upskilling RBTs and career pathing, featuring guest Claire Ellis, BCBA, National Director of Clinical Training and Development at Acorn Health. The discussion explores how supervisors can support various career paths for RBTs beyond becoming BCBAs, including roles in training, recruitment, scheduling, and outreach. The panel examines the supervisor's role in developing both technical and soft skills in RBT training programs, with a detailed look at Acorn Health's Clinical Readiness Program. Supervisors will gain insights into strategies for providing feedback, assessing competencies, and managing "healthy attrition" in RBT training.
