A new BCBA is assigned to a case that you have
worked on for almost a year now. During the first
supervision meeting, the new BCBA suggests you
change how you are delivering reinforcement, and
corrects the way you provide corrective feedback to
your client. As an RBT, what is the most appropriate
way you should respond in this situation?
Report the BCBA to your director or boss. Your BCBA should not be
providing you feedback after only the first session.
Tell the BCBA you understand, but continue doing it your way when they
leave
Accept the feedback, and attempt to implement the changes. If you have
questions about the changes, communicate immediately with the
supervisor.
