If the minimum trials are not met, then none of the data will be collected/counted
Where can you find your clients BIP?

What are trial minimums?
Trial minimums are the lowest amount of trials per program that a therapist should be running with their client.
Why is it important to state demands and not questions?
Demands are what we expect the client to do, and questions give the client a choice to deny.
Questions are great for NET and play scenarios
