Episode 287 - (SUPERVISION) Training Supervisees in Compassionate Care Practices

Hooray! It’s Supervision September! And our first supervision episode is all about the soft skills. But that doesn’t make teaching them easy! The ability to build a therapeutic rapport with clients is increasingly being identified as a key component of the BCBA’s clinical skillset. But if you’re only just learning to do this yourself, how will you supervise the next generation to do this work? This week we review some promising research articles that may kick your compassionate skills training into overdrive. And we even brought a clicker! This episode is available for 1.0 SUPERVISION CEU.
