BCBA Fieldwork Supervision

Supervision built around your fieldwork.

For BCBA candidates

From knowledge to practice.

TriPoint Autism & Literacy Education Services (TALES) provides individualized supervision for individuals working toward Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) certification.

Supervision is designed to support trainees in meeting BACB fieldwork requirements while developing the clinical skills, judgment, and confidence needed for effective behaviour-analytic practice. Each experience is tailored to your background, professional setting, fieldwork activities, and goals.

Individualized fieldwork supervision

What to expect.

Meetings are conducted primarily remotely, and client observations take place through live video or review of recorded sessions, as appropriate. Sessions focus on applying behaviour-analytic principles to real-world situations, strengthening clinical decision-making, and building practical skills for independent practice.

Depending on your needs and experiences, supervision may address areas such as:

  • Case conceptualization and clinical decision-making
  • Assessment, data analysis, and intervention planning
  • Ethical and professional decision-making
  • Collaboration with families and interdisciplinary teams
  • Staff, caregiver, and educator training
  • Research interpretation and evidence-based practice
  • Professional communication, consultation, and leadership
