BCBA Supervision
I supervise graduate students seeking BCBA certification, according to the standards set by the
Behavior Analyst Certification Board
Below are some testimonials from BCBAs I have supervised.
Mike Marroquin is a very knowledgeable and helpful supervisor who guided me through the entire certification process and ensured that I was well prepared to pass the BCBA exam. Mike was always available to provide assistance and help me problem solve issues with clients, and he continues to provide support even now that I have passed the exam. Mike is passionate about the field and about helping new behavior analysts develop their skills. He has a strong understanding of behavior analysis and understands how to apply his knowledge to the varied types of applied scenarios that we deal with in the field. In addition to being a great behavior analyst, Mike is also a natural educator who enjoys helping others learn about his favorite topic—Behavior Analysis!! I strongly recommend Mike Marroquin as a supervisor for anyone who is serious about becoming a Board Certified Behavior Analyst.

During BCBA supervision, Mike has not only been a great mentor, but as a supervisor has provided me with the kind of knowledge and applicability of behavior analysis that I wasn't exposed to in textbooks. His ability to provide endless examples, propose hypothetical situations and elaborate on solutions for various difficulties commonly encountered in the professional field, really helped me far beyond my personal knowledge of the theory of applied behavior analysis. I strongly feel that his supervision was one of the reasons I was able to pass the BCBA exam.

Mike Displayed excellent supervisory Skills in his interaction with me as well as my students. He was open to sharing his knowledge and providing useful information about ABA literature. Working closely with Mike helped me acquire a sophisticated knowledge of the principles of behavior analysis by reading articles from the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis and writing their summaries. We used the technical terminology while discussing and analyzing child performance data. His competent and confident skills as a Behavior Analyst and BCBA supervisor assisted me with passing the exam. I gained not only behavior analytic knowledge and an experienced colleague in the field I would highly recommend Mike as a BCBA supervisor.

Learning the skills necessary to be a behavior analyst does not come simply from reading journals and textbooks, rather it requires a naturalistic understanding of how to implement the "book learning" into real life situations.
What do you do when a child refuses to eat?
What do you do when a parent asks you to do something dangerous?
What do you do when the tantrums last longer than the session?
You know what you do. ASK MIKE! During my BCBA supervision sessions I could bring up any case or problem and Mike help me figure out the situation, identify a possible solution, and review successful or unsuccessful strategies during follow up meetings. More importantly, he made sure that I could do that level of problem solving and research before i took the exam. He helped me not only pass the exam, but to be a true applied behavior analyst who can now handle the real life scenarios on her own.

I cannot recommend a more knowledgeable or understanding supervisor than Mr. Marroquin. He is so willing to share his experiences with students and to assist fledgling behavior analysts obtain the hands-on experiences that will build their analytical skill sets. Simply put, he is a tireless professional who cares deeply about the field and your development within the field. His insight and experience into the treatment of autism spectrum disorders afford students the opportunity to learn about cutting edge interventions and his forward thinking allows students to maximize their learning opportunities. He teaches research-proven techniques, encourages thought-provoking discourse and pushes you to become the best behavior analyst you can be.

Though I had many years experience as a Special Education Teacher before beginning my supervision experience, my knowledge and ability to implement applied behavior analysis procedures and communicate effectively was lacking. Through remote supervision, Mike helped me to develop my skills in assessment, intervention, and evaluation in a difficult self contained classroom setting. He inspired hope and optimism when I felt like I had run out of options with students and provided strategies for dealing with some of the most difficult behavior problems. One of the greatest things that Mike did for me was to provide clarification on specific areas of applied behavior analysis that I struggled to intellectually grasp. He did this through real life examples of the concepts. By the end of the supervision experience, I had internalized the concepts which reshaped my existing knowledge and skill set and was able to pass the examination.
