Effective fieldwork supervision requires more than logging hours; it demands intentional skill-building, honest communication, and a commitment to compassionate clinical practice. This workshop presents an integrated supervision model that weaves together three essential elements: competency-based supervision, performance feedback, and compassionate care. Attendees will explore how to design supervision plans grounded in observable, measurable competencies aligned with BACB requirements, how to deliver structured, behaviorally specific feedback that shapes supervisee performance, and how to explicitly teach and model the person-centered values that define ethical, compassionate ABA practice. Critically, participants will examine how these three elements function as a unified system rather than isolated skills — and how the supervisory relationship itself serves as a live demonstration of the clinical culture supervisees will carry into their own practice. Attendees will leave with practical tools and a concrete action plan applicable to their immediate supervision context.
