The BACB requires both the supervisee and supervisor to develop and sign a written contract before starting any fieldwork experience. This contract serves to protect both parties by outlining and clarifying roles, responsibilities, and expectations. You might receive a contract from your internship site or need to create one by modifying an existing template.

Review the suggested components for this contract as outlined in your textbook and the BACB website. Discuss which elements you believe are most critical to include and why they are important for establishing a successful supervisory relationship. Use a reference for this discussion, ensuring proper citation and referencing.
