How do I find a supervisor

Simply go through the profiles of supervisors one the site, to find a supervisor that you’d like to work with. Finding a supervisor is helpful if you’re seeking remote supervision. With remote supervision, you have more flexibility in choosing supervision with a supervisor best suited for your needs.

Finding the right supervisor for you can seem overwhelming, but you can narrow down your search by considering what type of supervision you’d like to pursue. Take a few minutes to read through some supervisors’ profiles to see their different areas of expertise and their philosophies on therapy. If you feel like your matched supervisor isn’t the right one for you, you can choose to match with a different supervisor at any time. The most important thing in BCBA supervision is if you feel comfortable with your supervisor.

Think about what you want in a supervisor. Are you looking for someone with experience in a specific area, like working with children with autism or focusing on school-based interventions? Defining your goals will help narrow your search.

Reach out to:
Former professors or colleagues who may know reputable supervisors.
Local ABA organizations or online communities where professionals often share opportunities.

Don’t settle for the first match. When you meet potential supervisors, ask:
What’s your supervisory style?
How do you provide feedback?
What’s your experience working with BCBA candidates?

Depending on your schedule, you might prefer:
In-Person Supervision: Great for hands-on experience.
Remote Supervision: Ideal for balancing work or school commitments while accessing broader expertise
