Pairing
How long should you pair at the start of the session?
15 minutes MINIMUM
What is permanent product?
Something left behind after a behavior that allows you to have proof that it occurred.
Ex. a kid does worksheet in the morning and puts it in their folder, a week later the consultant checks the folder and can see how they did on the worksheet
Ex 2. The sharpie on the wall in little's classroom
A parent asks you a question about a client's program, what do you do?
Direct them to their consultant!
You have a really rough session and don't have time to write your note, what do you do?
Fill out the date, times, nap time, and your name at LEAST! This alone saves Katie so much work!
Tip: Ask other RBTs for help! We are a team and other RBTs can write this imformation if you tell them while you run the BSP!
When does pairing stop?
NEVER!!! You should always be pairing, even while you write your note you can provide positive statements, verbal praise, and narration!
What is IRT?
Inter response time, it is the time between 2 behaviors (positive or negative). Ex. So a kid gives you a high five, 3 minutes later he gives you another high-five the IRT is 3 minutes
You notice that your client's nose is running what do you do?
What is your supervision requirement?
5%
In error correction how many data points will you have(typically)
2, one for the initial response, and one for after the distractor is presented. (occasionally you will have more, ex. JeK can handle error correction being ran more than once to fully teach him if he errors twice in a row)
Your client wants to play a board and you REALLY do not want to play it, maybe you have a headache and is a loud game.
You always want to follow your client's motivation, however your comfort is still important so you may always feel free to request a break from peers or leadership. You may also suggest other options to the kiddo but you must follow through with what the originally ask for if they don't find anything else more fun
You are out in public and you notice one of your client's is in a challenging behavior, what do you do?
Walk away and ignore it, you are not receiving supervision and are not qualified in that moment to assist.
What do you do if you are graphing and you notice that a chart is missing?
Let their lead know! (If lead is unavailable let anyone from leadership know)
Oh no! You made an error running a program, what do you do?
Do not record the data! While accidents happen and are okay they should never reflect on the client as our mistakes mean that the program was ran incorrectly to how its written. NEVER RECORD FALSE DATA
Contrive it! Find items they have recently been motivated for and offer them to the client, demonstrate new ways to play with old toys, suggest toys they don't usually play with, make things look super fun, be creative!

A client engaged in a Bx and left a mark on your arm, how do you explain your wound to your coworkers? What about your family?
(coworkers) You may explain the mark in private away from all other client's. It goes against client Dignity to discuss this otherwise.
