ABSTRACT
Contributing to the understanding of supervision within evidence-based interventions (EBIs), this paper presents a feasibility study implementing a workplace-based clinical supervision model within Canadian community-based agencies delivering the SNAP (Stop Now and Plan) EBIs for children with disruptive behaviors. Partial demand for implementing the model was demonstrated, as was acceptability and implementation by six sites (n = 6 supervisors, n = 21 practitioners), with challenges to practicality using existing resources. Proof of concept of the model for enhancing practitioner competence contributed to the determination of value in further researching the model and its impact on the SNAP EBIs.
