OBM SUPERVISION FOR
FUTURE BCBAS

Supervision that helps you do OBM, not just rack up hours.

If you’re interested in Organizational Behavior Management (OBM) but still trying to figure out how OBM supervision is supposed to work, you’re not missing something. Most BCBA supervision pathways were built with clinical roles in mind, which can make OBM feel fuzzy… especially if you’re interested in organizations, systems, or performance rather than therapy.

At Moralis Machina, OBM supervision is designed to feel useful. Our focus is on real skills, real decisions, and real support, while staying fully aligned with BACB requirements.

OUR TEAM’S OBM EXPERIENCE

Together, our supervisors bring over 270 years of OBM experience across the 8 OBM subspecialties recognized by both the BACB and OBM Network.

Rather than offering one-size-fits-all supervision, we connect supervisees with supervisors whose real-world experience aligns with the kind of OBM work they want to do.

OBM Supervision That Meets You Where You Are

People come to OBM supervision with very different backgrounds. Some are brand new to OBM. Others are already doing the work but want clear, specific feedback and guidance as they take on more responsibility. We treat that variety as a strength, not a problem to fix.

Supervision should fit the work you’re actually doing, not force you into a preset mold that doesn’t quite apply. Most people exploring OBM supervision recognize themselves in one of these starting points.

Starting from the ground up

If you’re newer to OBM, or if your exposure has mostly been conceptual, supervision at this stage is about building a solid, usable foundation. You’ll learn how behavior analysis shows up in organizations and how to apply OBM intentionally, not abstractly.

The goal isn’t to memorize frameworks. It’s to move from “I think I understand this” to “I know how to use this.” 

Starting with a real OBM project

If you’re already working on an organizational or performance-related challenge, supervision focuses on helping you think more clearly about the decisions you’re making. We slow things down, pressure-test your analysis, and strengthen how you design and explain your work.

As your skills and responsibilities grow, supervision shifts with you, because your work should get more involved over time.

WHAT OBM SUPERVISION LOOKS LIKE AT MORALIS

Good OBM supervision should feel connected to your day-to-day work. Not hypothetical examples. Not generic case discussions. The actual decisions you’re making in real systems.

Supervision here centers on your analyses, your work products, and how you’re applying behavior analysis in context.

With Moralis supervision, you’ll learn how to:
  • Apply OBM principles to real organizational decisions
  • Clearly identify what counts as OBM work in real settings
  • Get more precise with how you define behavior and use data
  • Design interventions that make sense in context
  • Receive feedback you can use right away
  • Explain and defend your OBM decisions with confidence

WHAT MAKES OUR SUPERVISION DIFFERENT

Our supervision is about growth, instead of just getting to the end.

We care about how you think through OBM problems, why you make the choices you do, and how supported you feel as you build your skills. Why? Because we want good humans doing good behavioral science work out in the world.

In practice, that means:

Speak Human

We keep conversations clear and practical. If something feels confusing or overly technical, we slow down and talk it through until it makes sense.

Do it Right

We take the work we do together seriously and give honest, thoughtful feedback. We’ll challenge your thinking when it matters and help you strengthen your analysis so you can stand behind your decisions.

Stand Together

Supervision is a relationship, not just a process. We take time to get to know you, check in regularly, and work through challenges with you instead of expecting you to figure things out on your own.

Stay Curious

Learning OBM isn’t a straight line. We encourage questions, exploration, and trying things out, and we stay flexible as your interests and skills grow.

You’ll see this show up in the feedback you receive, the support you experience along the way, and how prepared you feel as supervision wraps up.

WE'LL BE HONEST ABOUT FIT

This approach works best for people who want to actively engage with their work, reflect on their decisions, and build real OBM skills.

We Don't Offer:

  • Passive or hands-off supervision
  • Generic clinical supervision rebranded as OBM
  • Shortcuts to feeling professionally ready

If you want to finish supervision feeling capable, not just finished, this approach is built for that.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this count if I’m not doing therapy?

Yes. OBM supervision applies behavior analysis in organizational settings such as performance, systems, and leadership.

How do observations work?

Observations may include meetings, recordings, or reviews of work products like reports and analyses.

What is my supervisor actually observing?

Your supervisor looks at how you define behavior, use data, and make decisions through your work.

How can supervision be valid if you don’t work for my organization?

Supervision focuses on how you support your organization, not on managing the organization itself.
