Appealing Solutions Presents a Two-Day Workshop
Supervisor Training that Meets BACB Requirements
Not Just for Behavior Analysts
Do you work as an employee, supervisor, or director of an agency that provides services
to clients with learning difficulties? Are you satisfied with your clients’ progress?
Behavior analysis developed a powerful technology for helping people, but too many
clients don’t receive the benefits. Why not? The easy answer is that employees don’t do
what they are told. But the employees’ performance, just like their clients’ performance,
is a product of their environment. Do employees have the resources, training, and
management necessary to help their clients achieve their goals? What about their
supervisors? What about their directors? Organizations are groups of individuals who
must work together to provide their clients with the outcomes they want. The failure of
clients to make adequate progress is not usually an individual employee performance
problem, but a performance problem at the system process, and individual levels of the
organization. This workshop will provide you with a set of tools to pinpoint
organizational performance problems, analyze their causes, recommend the best
solutions, solve the problems by designing and implementing solutions that might
include more efficient resources, training, and management practices, and evaluate their
effectiveness, efficiency, and return on investment.
