MEASUREMENT & DATA
This type of data measures how many times a behavior occurs.
What is frequency data?
This prompting strategy begins with the least intrusive prompt before increasing support only if needed.
What is least-to-most prompting?
RBTs should only implement programs designed or approved by this person.
Who is the supervising BCBA?
Reinforcing a replacement behavior while withholding reinforcement for a challenging behavior is an example of this.
What is differential reinforcement?
Learning is child-led and centered around this.
What are the client’s interests and motivations?
This measurement system is most appropriate when a behavior has a clear beginning and end.
What is duration?
A learner independently requests “more bubbles” during play after the RBT pauses expectantly.
What is naturalistic teaching?
Talking about clients in public places violates this ethical responsibility.
What is confidentiality?
A client begins pacing, scripting loudly, and covering their ears before engaging in aggression.
What are precursor behaviors?
A client declines participation in a planned activity and begins moving away from the table. The RBT responds by acknowledging the communication, reducing demands, and attempting to re-engage through shared interests.
What is honoring assent while maintaining therapeutic rapport?
This type of recording only marks whether a behavior happened during part of an interval.
What is partial interval recording?
Reinforcement delivered only after increasingly independent responses is an example of this.
What is differential reinforcement of independent responding?
A parent asks you for advice about medication changes. The correct response is to do this.
What is refer them to an appropriate medical professional and notify the BCBA?
A learner engages in property destruction when difficult writing tasks are presented, but remains regulated when provided breaks and visual supports.
What is escape-maintained behavior?
This communication style sounds more collaborative and less controlling: “Let’s figure this out together.”
What is declarative language?
This type of measurement compares how often a behavior occurs against the amount of time available for it to happen.
What is rate data?
Reducing prompts over time to increase independence is called this.
What is prompt fading?
An RBT notices a data sheet was filled out inaccurately. Ethical practice requires this.
What is correcting and reporting accurate data honestly?
An RBT notices a client consistently struggles more during sessions after poor sleep and schedule changes at home.
What are setting events?
If a client indicates they need space, the RBT should respond by doing this whenever safely possible.
What is honoring assent and autonomy?
This measurement system is best used when behaviors happen too quickly or too often to count individually.
What is interval recording?
A client independently uses a coping strategy in a new environment with a different staff member and different materials.
What is generalization?
Respecting autonomy, assent, regulation, and dignity are part of this overall approach.
What is neuroaffirming care?
Reducing behavior without teaching replacement skills, supporting regulation, or understanding function would be considered inconsistent with this approach.
What is compassionate, neuroaffirming ABA?
A Trellis RBT notices a client is dysregulated during a difficult task and adjusts expectations, offers co-regulation, and follows the behavior plan.
What is compassionate clinical decision-making?
