Supervision and Tips for New BCBAs with Katerina Savino

BCBA Kat Savino is the Community Manager at How To ABA. If you’re a member, you’ve likely seen Kat in our community, Q&A sessions, and our journal clubs. Kat was one of our first podcast guests and as we learned more about her, we realized we needed her on the team. You can get to know Kat through our membership community board, where she connects members with available resources. Kat also does supervision for those needing fieldwork experience and one-on-one mentorships for newly minted BCBAs. Kat has a ton of supervision experience and here, she talks about what’s lacking in the field and suggestions for improvement. Sometimes, a geographical location may not have enough available supervisors or there may not be any available in the workplace. Supervision doesn’t end as soon as you pass your exam, and it’s important for new practitioners to get quality support as they begin their career journey. We also discuss the challenges faced by new BCBAs, how leaning on a community can decrease burnout and overwhelm, and Kat’s must-have programming resources.What’s Inside:—How to get to know Kat through our community—Challenges faced by new BCBAs—Kat’s must-have programming resources—Upcoming community eventsMentioned In This Episode:HowToABA.com/joinHow to ABA on YouTubeFind us on FacebookFollow us on Instagram
