I was reluctant to purchase because it seems written for a supervisee mainly but after supervising several people I realize how important having your supervisee read certain chapters ahead of time. It encourages ownership and initiative as a supervisee, which I love. Everyone pursuing fieldwork should purchase this.
As described. Competitive pricing. Excellent ship time. Received item before estimated date.
As a BCBA or someone working toward obtaining these credentials this book is a very valuable resource. This is a powerful tool for anyone providing supervision, considering to provide supervision, or for anyone who is entering into supervision. Well done!
Yes, this book is written for practicum students. It is a valuable resource that can be used when working with supervisees.
I attended a conference where Ellie Kazemi presented. She’s amazing and recommended her book. She made it sound like it was a guide for BCBA’s to conduct supervision with supervisees however, the book is for practicum students and helps them get the most out of their practicum. I hope she writes a book about supervising supervisees!!! Her presentation was amazing!
