Elevate Your ABA Supervision Helping the field of ABA grow deeper as it continues to grow wider
Providing dedicated BCBA supervision with passion Hi y'all!

I'm Christi and I'm the founder and owner of Passion for Behavior, LLC. I've been in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) since 2006 and have worked in a variety of setting with a variety of client ages and profiles. Being that I have been a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) since 2013, I consider myself a dinosaur in the field. It's become my identified passion to help the field con

tinue to grow deeper as it continues to grow wider. The rates of BCBA certificates that are being given each year is at exponential increases. I love the science of ABA and sharing it with others; whatever capacity I'm able to do that!

Nobody taught us this in grad school, but it's one of the most important skills you'll develop as a BCBA® supervisor. If your feedback isn't changing behavior, it's time to look at the structure of how you're delivering it.

Three components. Every time. Watch and tell me if this changes how you approach your next session.

I want to show you something real.

I just got off a client meeting. I took it from a grassy hill next to the playground while my son played after school. No office. No commute. No missed pickup.

I didn't stumble into this. I built it deliberately — because I knew what I wanted my life to look like and I built my work around it.

That's what Elevate Your ABA Supervision is really about. Yes, it's about becoming a better BCBA® supervisor. But it's also about building a practice that works for your life, not against it.

If that resonates, you're in the right place.

I hear this all the time from BCBA® supervisors: "I document my sessions." But when I ask what they're documenting, it's usually just the date and a couple of notes. That's not going to protect you — or your supervisee — if something goes sideways.

Here's what you should actually be capturing every single session. Save this and do an honest audit of your current system.

You know you're a BCBA when you solve your own motivation problem with a sticker chart.

I needed to move more during the work day. Simple goal — under desk elliptical at least once. And I needed something to actually make it happen, so I put stickers on a calendar.

Are stickers silly? Sure. Are they still genuinely exciting to put on? Absolutely yes.

When I wanted to push harder on the good days — do more than just the baseline once — I got bigger, more motivating stickers for the above and beyond days. Tiered reinforcement. For my own exercise routine.

The calendar is also a chicken calendar which honestly adds to the whole experience.

Is it consistent yet? The month of May says not quite. But the system is still running, the stickers are still motivating, and I'm still showing up.

We know this stuff works. Sometimes we just need the reminder to use it on ourselves too.

How do you build reinforcement into your routines?

The supervisors who produce the strongest clinicians aren't the ones who catch the most mistakes. They're the ones who walk in every session with a deliberate plan to build something. Small mindset shift. Significant difference in outcomes. Happy Monday.

By Friday, you've collected six pieces of feedback that all sound like complaints when delivered together.

Try this instead: feedback within 24 hours, ideally same-day. Two sentences. One observation, one question.

Example: 'I noticed you redirected without the warning. Was that intentional, or did the moment get away from you?'

That's it. No meeting required. No lecture. Just real-time learning.

💬 What's a piece of feedback you've been saving up that should've been said by Tuesday?

Vague feedback feels supportive in the moment. It costs your supervisee a week of guessing. Specificity is the kindness.

Most supervision frustration is downstream of a missing conversation: what does 'good' actually look like here?

Try this in your next meeting:
1. Pick one task they own (e.g., session notes).
2. Ask: 'What would a great session note include?'
3. Compare their answer to your own internal definition.
4. Negotiate the gap. Write it down.

Ninety percent of feedback gets easier when expectations are explicit, mutual, and visible.

💬 Where could you tighten expectations this week?

The opening 90 seconds of your meeting tells your supervisee how much you care about it. Make them count.

Your team's culture isn't built in their handbook. It's built in how you show up to your first session of the week.

If you're rushed, distracted, or vague — they'll mirror it. If you're present, specific, and curious — they'll mirror that too.

This week, your only job is to set the tone you want them to model.

💬 What tone are you setting today?
