Description

This project seeks to develop and evaluate a pilot version of the Online and Applied System for Intervention Skills – Supervision (OASIS-S) a cloud-based portal for the supervision of individuals in service fields that require post-degree supervision. Initially two modules (online and skill-based activities) will be developed for those seeking certification as behavior analysts. This system incorporates each element of a good supervision experience such as 1) providing structure for group and individual supervision meetings, 2) informational tutorials in targeted competency areas, 3) pre/post test assessments for supervisee’s knowledge and skill application, 4) an on-line “home” for uploading supervision documents/video’s, and 5) a “classroom” discussion board to build cohorts of professionals. For Supervisors, this system includes 1) supervisory access to monitor progress and competency levels, 2) an avenue for distance supervision documentation and 3) a means of managing supervision activities from a distance. For employers this system will offer 1) a comprehensive data-base that provides administrators with the ability to monitor employee’s professional development activities, and 2) a way to manage costs associated with providing services and supervision experiences to employees in the field and/or who live and provide services in geographic areas removed from the central office.
