With ineffective supervision, an RBT might not be able to demonstrate specific skills which are critical for their role. For example, when a supervisor accepts gifts from a client’s family they are modeling poor ethical behaviors. The RBT may continue to demonstrate those same behaviors because they were taught to do so by their supervisor.
Another example would be a supervisor meets with the RBT only 1 time throughout the month and proceeds to sign the hours sheet. This is considered unethical and poor leadership behaviors. The RBT may continue to do the same when they become a supervisor because it was modelled during their training.
