So You Want to Do OBM Fieldwork?

You’re interested in Organizational Behavior Management (OBM). Now what? Maybe you’re pursuing BCBA certification and wondering how to get meaningful OBM experience. Or maybe you’re already a BCBA and want to provide OBM supervision. Either way, there are some big questions to answer: What can OBM fieldwork actually look like? What makes the work behavior analytic? And how do you know whether an opportunity or supervisor is a good fit? This CEU looks at OBM fieldwork and supervision from the potential supervisee’s perspective, with plenty for current and future supervisors to take away, too. Using real-world examples, we’ll make sense of what qualifies as behavior-analytic work, how to find and evaluate potential fieldwork opportunities, and what good OBM supervision can look like in practice.

1. 11. Distinguish behavior-analytic OBM fieldwork from general organizational work based on what the person is doing and why. 2. Identify key considerations when finding and evaluating potential OBM fieldwork opportunities. 3. Describe key features of effective OBM supervision, including how supervision can be matched to a supervisee’s skills and goals.
