Innovative Methodologies Promoting the Advancement of Clinical Transformative Supervision in Vocational Rehabilitation
Project Description:
A sustainable approach to increasing knowledge and integration of clinically transformative
supervision skills for current and prospective supervisors in real-work settings. The program
builds on decades of research within VR demonstrating clinical transformative supervision and
its skills are both in deficit and desired. No known training dedicated to clinical supervision
skills acquisition exists nationally. ImpactVR intends to design and deliver training utilizing a
progressive knowledge acquisition-integration-implementation model, enculturating skills in
actual supervisory practice. This will result in improved supervisor-supervisee relationships,
enhanced counselor confidence, staff retention which translates to quality services, and
improvement of employment outcomes.
To ensure a high quality and sustainable training program, ImpactVR will gather input and
feedback from key stakeholders and evaluate training quality, relevance, and usefulness on an
ongoing basis to continuously improve the program. ImpactVR will use universal learning design
principles and offer universal, targeted and intensive training in synchronous and asynchronous
formats to meet the different learning styles of trainees. ImpactVR will:
1. Establish and Implement the Supervisory Transformation Advisory Team (STAT)
2. Conduct a Comprehensive Review of Best Practices in Clinical Supervision
3. Build Infrastructure for a Comprehensive Three-Tiered Training Program
4. Design and Deliver Tiered (Intensive, Targeted and Universal) Clinical Transformative
Supervision Training.
5. Implement a Comprehensive Dissemination and Collaboration Plan
6. Evaluate Project Effectiveness and Support Continuous Improvemen
