About the presentation:
The growth of behavior analysis has been remarkable. Now, it is time for us to take a step back, think of what has made us successful thus far, and consider how supervisors, as leaders, can cultivate our continued growth.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of the presentation, the participants will be able to:
1. Explain how supervisors can deliver the effects we promise as an evidence-based practice
2. Explain how supervisors can promote the profession of behavior analysis so that behavior analysts are more like-able
2. State at least 2 strategies for creating an organizational culture of care

Dr. Kazemi is a Professor at California State University, Northridge (CSUN) where she has developed and teaches undergraduate and graduate coursework in behavior analysis for the past 10 years. She founded the Masters of Science Program in Applied Behavior Analysis in 2010 and has collaborated with the CSUN community to provide graduate students high quality supervision experiences. She currently has two different lines of research. Her applied research interests involve identification of efficient, effective strategies for practical training, supervision, and leadership. Her laboratory research involves leveraging technology (e.g., robotics, virtual or augmented reality) for efficient training and feedback using simulations. She is currently working on several nationwide large projects (e.g., with FEMA and NASA) with a focus on effective training and behavioral outcomes. She has received several mentorship awards including the ABAI Best Mentor Award, the Outstanding Faculty Award, the Outstanding Teaching Award, and the Outstanding Service Award. She has published articles and book chapters on a variety of topics including training, staff turnover, and the use of technology in behavior analysis. She is the leading author of a handbook written for both supervisors and supervisees that is titled, Supervision and Practicum in Behavior Analysis: A Handbook for Supervisees.
