Summary

This year we're kicking off Supervision September by focusing our supervisory efforts with a growing category of supervisees, individuals with disabilities. Because, for a field based on helping people, we don't always practice what we preach with our colleagues! We discuss the culture of disability in regards to humility in supervision as well as how to bring what other fields have learned to our own behavior analysis trainees.

This episode is available for 1.0 SUPERVISION or 1.0 ETHICS/CULTURAL CEU.
