Qualified Supervising Professional - BCBA / LICSW / LPC / LPCC / LMFT

Description

The QSP assumes full professional responsibility for the services provided by each supervisee, including each supervisee’s actions and decisions.

The QSP must make sure their caseload size allows them to deliver services to people with a range of needs, from complex to less intensive. The QSP’s caseload size should allow them to actively plan, coordinate, monitor, train and supervise the team in order to meet the individual needs of the person and family, as specified in each person’s ITP.

If the QSP leaves the agency (e.g., resigns or disaffiliates their enrollment) or experiences an absence longer than 31 consecutive days, the agency must have another QSP take over these responsibilities to continue providing services. An agency cannot operate without a QSP.
