Measurement Matters
This measurement records the count of how many times a behavior occurs during a specified observation period, regardless of the observation length.
What is frequency?
The RBT says, “Say ‘more,’” and the client repeats.
What is a verbal prompt?
The APP we used before Ensora
What is Catalyst ?
If the client is out of units, mass SOAP notes must be submitted within this time frame.
What is 48 hours?
You should always do this before collecting data to ensure accuracy.
What is review the operational definition?
This type of data collection only notes if a behavior occurred at the end of an interval.
What is momentary time sampling?
The RBT guides the client's hand fully (hand over hand) to complete the task.
What is a full physical prompt?
If your client runs out of units, this is your backup plan.
What is take screenshots of data and completed programs?
RBTs must do this after completing session notes.
What is render the appointment and update client chat?
This is a big no-no: guessing or estimating data when unsure.
What is recording data without observing the actual behavior?
A measurement system that looks at whether behavior occurred at any point during the interval.
What is partial interval recording?
The RBT points to the correct item without saying anything.
What is a gesture prompt?
This is where you can find operational definitions for skills or behaviors in Ensora.
What is under the skill or behavior’s program page?
This is not required for an RBT to submit or render session notes after a session.
What is the caregiver’s signature?
When you notice a behavior doesn’t match the operational definition exactly, you should do this.
What is ask the supervising BCBA for clarification?
This continuous measurement tracks behaviors per time unit, such as 5 instances per minute.
What is rate?
A client responds correctly, but only after the RBT models the behavior first.
What is a model prompt?
This is where you can find your clients BIP?
What is the Documents section?
This section of the SOAP note should include behavior data directly pulled from Ensora.
What is the Objective section?
You should avoid this common mistake that can lead to inaccurate progress tracking.
What is skipping data collection during sessions?
This method records the time from the instruction to the start of a behavior.
What is latency?
This type of prompt uses pictures, symbols, or written cues to guide a client toward the correct response without verbal or physical assistance.
What is a visual prompt?
This is where you would go to pull the performance data ?
What is Trial Sheet?
This section of the SOAP note includes the RBT’s observations about the client’s mood or behavior, often described without numerical data.
What is the Subjective section?
RBTs must do this when implementing programs designed by the BCBA instead of making changes on their own.
What is follow the program exactly as written?
