What is a Qualified Supervising Professional (QSP)?

If you work in the EIDBI system in Minnesota, you have probably seen the term QSP.

QSP stands for Qualified Supervising Professional.

In Minnesota’s EIDBI framework, the QSP is the person responsible for overseeing a child’s treatment program. They supervise the direct care staff who work with the child every day.

Who qualifies as a QSP?

A QSP can be a BCBA, a licensed psychologist, or another professional who meets the state’s requirements. At ExcelPath, our QSPs are BCBAs. The same person designing your child’s behavior plan is also supervising the team that carries it out.

What does a QSP do?

They create and update the child’s Individual Treatment Plan. They provide ongoing supervision to the treatment team. They review session data and adjust goals based on progress. They meet with families to discuss how things are going. They coordinate with other providers to keep everyone on the same page.

How is a QSP different from a QBP?

A QBP, Qualified Behavioral Professional, is the person delivering many of the direct therapy hours. The QSP supervises the QBP. The QSP is the lead. The QBP is the hands on practitioner. Level I and Level II staff are the daily support team working under both.

For referral sources:

If you are referring a family to ExcelPath, our QSPs are actively involved in every child’s case. They do not rubber stamp treatment plans. They are in the clinic. They know the children by name.
