Episode 7: 2000 Hours, Zero Clinical Judgment: Welcome to ABA Supervision

Let’s stop pretending supervision is working just because someone hit 2,000 hours. In this episode of Rad N Bad, Sean Yocum and Michael Carrero rip into the broken culture of ABA supervision—and what we actually need to start producing real-deal BCBAs, not just test-passers with clipboards.

We’re talking:

• Why more hours don’t equal more skill (and what to do instead),

• How agencies are using “supervision” to churn out cheap labor,

• The myth of “you’re ready to supervise after a year” (spoiler: you’re not),

• What real mentorship looks like—and why most of the field isn’t doing it,

• And why ethical decision-making can’t be taught in a PowerPoint.

Whether you're a supervisee lost in the hour-hustle or a supervisor wondering why your mentee still can't write a goal—this episode will hit home.
