1.5 BACB® Ethics CEUs

Ethics in the Rearview: Turning Blind Spots into Supervision Strategies

A BCBA's® Guide to Spotting Ethical Drift and Supporting RBTs® in Real-World Settings

By Christi Wilson, MS, BCBA

Feel like ethical supervision is a guessing game?

You’re not alone. You’re responsible for your RBTs’® ethical conduct—even the parts you don’t see. This course helps you supervise more ethically, even when you can’t be in the room.

Ethical drift is subtle and supervision is complex. This course gives you a clear framework to:

✔ Recognize early signs of ethical drift before they escalate

✔ Respond to gray-area concerns with clarity and confidence

✔ Empower RBTs® to make ethical decisions in-the-moment

✔ Supervise effectively across remote, hybrid, and in-person settings

✔ Embed ethical habits into your systems—not just your sessions

No more feeling like you're missing something.

What you’ll learn

Use the C.L.E.A.R. Framework

Apply a 5-step system to spot, address, and prevent ethical drift. This practical tool helps you supervise with structure, respond with clarity, and embed ethics into your daily routines.

Catch the Drift

Spot subtle ethical missteps like boundary blurring, plan deviations, and unauthorized decisions—before they escalate.

Locate the Cause

Zoom out to examine the systems reinforcing drift, from competing demands to unclear expectations.

Expose What’s Hidden

Use observation tools, data checks, and conversation probes to reveal what standard oversight might miss.

Address with Intention

Deliver feedback that builds ethical fluency—not shame. Coach with compassion and clarity.

Reinforce the System

Create supervision structures that make ethical behavior easier to choose and harder to drift from.

What is Ethical Drift?

Ethical drift happens when small changes in RBT behavior go unnoticed and become the new norm. It often shows up as "helpful" decisions made outside of scope or slight modifications to a plan.

This course helps you:

✔ See what you might be missing

✔ Understand why it’s happening

✔ Build a system that makes drift less likely

What Other BCBAs® Are Saying about Christi's Other Courses

I appreciate how thorough the class is with providing actionable steps for a provider to take immediately with their staff. It is encouraging to have classes that teach how to support and value staff as whole individual outside of mere productivity.

Erica J .

(Retention Revolution)

This was fantastic on how to address situations in a better manner and provides you with clear guidance on how to proceed.

Diana L.

(Feedback Loop)

This course completely reframed how I approach supervision. It gave me practical tools to build trust, adapt feedback, and truly connect with my team. If you're looking to create more inclusive and effective supervision, this training is a must.

Sophie L.

(What Your Training Didn't Cover)

I work with paraprofessionals not RBTs. The course was helpful for me to systematically approach how to teach the principles of ABA without continued repetition. Some have mastered the basics and are able to engage in more independent decision making. Thank you for providing the strategies.
