Universal Citation: LA Admin Code VIII-507
Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024
A. The supervising LBA has the overall responsibility for providing the necessary supervision to protect the health and welfare of the patient/client receiving treatment from an SCABA. However, this does not absolve the SCABA from his/her professional responsibilities. The SCABA shall exercise sound judgment and provide adequate care in the performance of duties. The SCABA shall:
1.
not initiate any patient/client treatment program or modification of said
program until the behavior analyst has evaluated, established a treatment plan,
and consulted with the LBA;
2. not
perform an evaluation/assessment, but may assist in the data gathering process
and administer specific assessments where clinical competency has been
demonstrated, under the direction of the LBA;
3. not analyze or interpret evaluation
data;
4. monitor the need for
reassessment and report changes in status that might warrant reassessment or
referral;
5. immediately suspend
any treatment intervention that appears harmful to the patient/client and
immediately notify the supervising LBA; and
6. ensure that all patient/client
documentation prepared by the SCABA becomes a part of the permanent
record;
7. meet these supervision
requirements, even if they are not currently providing behavior analysis
services. If not currently providing behavior analysis services, supervision
from the supervising LBA may focus on guiding the development and maintenance
of the SCABAs professional knowledge and skills and remaining current with the
professional literature in the field; and
8. inform the board of the termination in a
supervisory relationship within 10 calendar days.
