How to Schedule an RBT Supervision Session


Step 1: Start in the Scheduling Window

Step 2: Click and Drag

To create the appointment, click and drag next to the existing scheduled appointment. This will open the Create Appointment window.  

Step 3: Set the Date


Enter the date for the appointment.  

Step 4: Select Appointment Type


Select the appropriate appointment type from the dropdown menu. In this example, we will schedule a telehealth supervision session

Step 5: Select Location


Choose the appropriate location from the dropdown menu.


Step 6: Select Supervising Employee


From the dropdown menu, select the supervising BCBA. In this example, the BCBA, Lord Farquaad, will be supervising.


Step 7: Select Direct or Indirect


Choose Direct or Indirect supervision based on the session type.  


Step 8: Enable RBT Supervision Tracking


Check the box next to 'RBT Supervision.' This enables Theralytics to track RBT supervision hours, which will appear in the RBT Supervision Report. Once selected, additional scheduling options will appear below.

Step 9: Select RBT(s) Being Supervised


Add RBTs from the dropdown menu. You can select one or multiple RBTs as needed.



Step 10: Select Supervision Type


Choose the Supervision Type: either Individual or Group supervision.

If the client will be present during the session, check the box labeled 'Observed with Client.'




Optional: Add Notes


If needed, you can add session-specific details in the Notes section.



Step 13: Save the Appointment


After confirming all your selections, click 'Save.'




Generating the RBT Supervision Report


Note: Both the BCBA's and RBT's appointments must be rendered to generate an accurate RBT Supervision Report. Rendering is essential to ensure the session is included in the report totals.



Step 1: Access the Reports Menu


Navigate to the 'Reports' menu.

Step 2: Navigate to Staff and Client Management


Click on 'Staff and Client Management.'

Step 3: Open RBT Supervision Report


Select 'RBT Supervision.'

Step 4: Select Report Filters


  • Choose the appropriate RBT from the dropdown menu.

  • Select the month and year for which you want to generate the report.

Step 5: Generate the Report


After making your selections, click 'Generate.'

Step 6: View and Download the Report


The report will display:

  • Total supervision hours.
  • Percentage met.
  • Supervision appointment details.


To download the report, click the 'Save' icon and select your preferred file format.


Important:
If the report appears incorrect, verify that both the RBT's and the BCBA's appointments have been rendered.
