Let’s Start

When working with a client, whose preferences should take priority?

Client

Parent

Teacher

BCBA

Your client has sessions in two locations. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, they have sessions at home. On Tuesdays and Fridays, they have sessions in the clinic. How could you transport your client’s session notes and data sheets from their home to the clinic? Choose the best possible response.

In a locked box in your trunk

In your backseat

In your locked trunk

You should not ever transport client documentation

Which of the following most closely represents the role of the RBT in the ABA service delivery?

To work 1:1 or in groups, implementing treatment and behavior goals as created by the BCBA

To assess and treat skill deficits and behavioral needs

To diagnose individuals with autism and provide treatment to address their individualized needs

To create and implement interventions to reduce challenging behaviors

In a DRO, you reinforce:

More appropriate alternative behaviors

An incompatible behavior

All behaviors other than the behavior targeted for reduction

All behaviors noncontingently

Which of the following is the best example of maintaining client dignity?

Explaining to the waitress that your client has autism during a CBI

Sharing a client’s private information with other RBTs

Sharing a client’s information with a peer

Not restricting the client’s right to food or water

This consequence increases the future likelihood of behavior.

Rewards

Punishment

Motivation

Reinforcement

Reinforcement is delivered, on average, every 2 minutes following the first response after the time is up. What reinforcement schedule is this?

VR-2

FI-2

FR-2

VI-2

Kevin hits his peers at preschool to get their attention. His team implements a procedure where everyone limits attention toward Kevin when he hits his peers. Instead, he receives verbal praise when engaging in behaviors that keep his hands busy. Clapping, playing with legos, etc. What type of procedure does this entail?

Differential reinforcement of incompatible behaviors

Differential reinforcement of other behaviors

Differential reinforcement of low levels of behaviors

Differential reinforcement of alternative behaviors

This signals that reinforcement is available

Sdelta

Which of the following variables would not be necessary to communicate with your BCBA immediately?

Your client’s caregivers reported concerns about their progress and another RBT’s performance

Your client started a new medication

Your supervisor provides you constructive feedback on how you implemented a manding goal. You are confused, as another supervisor previously trained you to do it this way. Choose the best way for you to respond to this feedback.

Brush it off and continue doing it how you were initially trained

Say, “Thanks for the feedback. Could you provide additional clarification, as another supervisor originally trained me to do it this way?”

Tell them that they’re wrong and you know you’re doing it correctly

Say “okay” and begin doing it how this supervisor told you to

The first step in this prompting strategy is errorless learning.

Most to least prompting

Forward chaining

Least to most prompting

Backwards chaining

Client documentation is required to be saved for a minimum of ___ years.

This procedure involves reinforcing gradual changes in behavior.

Reinforcing

Prompting

Which of the following is the most objective statement for a session note?

All of the above are objective

Client struggled to attend and listen during today’s session.

I could not get the client to attend to learning opportunities despite using the intervention strategies outlined in their BIP.

Client demonstrated low rates of attention today. Prompts were needed for all goals due to inattention, resulting in 0% independent responding.

Which of the following scenarios would constitute a mandated reporting situation?

These are all mandated reporting scenarios

Your client does not have many toys or books at home

You observe your client’s mother throw her against a wall in response to the client engaging in aggressive behavior

Your client’s father begins giving her coffee because he believes it will help improve her concentration

A little boy is playing with his toys in his room. Holding one of his stuffed animal dolls, he looks at it and says “Zebra!” What type of verbal behavior is this?

Monthly conducted during BCBA overlaps

Escape, attention, tangible, sensory describe what?

Types of prompts

Dimensions of ABA

Functions of behavior

Teaching strategies

When using extinction, you:

Ignore the client

Provide differential reinforcement

Withhold reinforcement for a behavior that was previously reinforced

Ignore all inappropriate behaviors

Stimulus changes that occur right after a behavior are referred to as:

Extinction

Antecedents

Consequences

Reinforcements

Pam is working with a 7-year-old client named Lincoln. Lincoln engages in behaviors to escape non-preferred work tasks. How might Pam use a DRA to reduce Lincoln’s escape behaviors? Choose the best solution given this scenario.

Allow Lincoln to escape non-preferred tasks by manding for a break

Ignore all escape behaviors and reinforce all other behaviors

Reinforce on-task behaviors

Implement escape extinction and forced follow through

Your client’s parent tells you to run a program differently than how your BCBA originally trained you. How should you proceed?

End the session

Firmly say no

Agree as long as their request is not likely to result in harm and immediately seek guidance from your BCBA after the session

Repeatedly call your BCBA in the moment to seek guidance

You’re about to start a session with a client. What do you need to do to be sure you’re ready to have a successful session (at the very minimum)?

Before starting you should conduct a functional behavioral assessment and a full preference assessment

A cup of coffee is all you need

You can just wing it, and see how it goes session to session

You should know what you are measuring during the session and have the materials required to measure those responses before session starts

Henry had a particularly challenging session with his new client, Mia. After the session, he reaches out to his BCBA to request guidance. He sends her a secure message on their HIPAA-compliant communication platform. Choose the most appropriate way for Henry to communicate these concerns.

Mia’s behaviors are escalating and I feel out of control. She clearly doesn’t like me and I don’t know how to remedy this. Are you able to overlap my next sessions to provide more guidance?

Mia engaged in 27 aggressions and 12 SIBs today, which was significantly higher than I observed during training. I followed the BIP, but I am unsure whether I’m doing things correctly. Could you overlap my next session to provide guidance?

Since he used a secure communication platform, any of the above ways of communicating his concerns would be appropriate

Mia had an awful session. I have no idea what to do moving forward.
