How should RBTs prepare for supervision sessions?

RBTs should prepare for supervision sessions by gathering data and formulating questions. This preparation is crucial because effective supervision relies on a shared understanding of the client's progress and challenges. By bringing relevant data, RBTs can provide concrete examples of the client’s behavior and responses to interventions, which enables the supervisor to offer informed guidance and support.

Additionally, formulating questions allows RBTs to clarify uncertainties, seek advice on specific issues, and discuss strategies for improving client outcomes. This proactive approach demonstrates professionalism and a commitment to the client’s success while fostering a collaborative relationship with the supervisor.

The other options do not align with the goals of an effective supervision session. Reading unrelated materials would not contribute to the RBT's professional development or the effectiveness of service delivery. Prioritizing personal issues takes the focus away from the client and the professional responsibilities of the RBT. Focusing mainly on client complaints does not encompass the broader context of the client's progress and the strategies being implemented, which are essential topics for supervision.
