ABC stands for
Antecedent Behavior Consequence
Why do we take baseline data?
To have data on the learner's current skill level.
True or False: A therapist should come to work depending on the learners on their schedule.
False. A therapist should show up to work depending on their scheduled shift.
My learner is hurt, who do I let know first?
Leads or a avaiable in-person BCBA.
What time is circle time and lunch/dinner time?
Circle: 10 am and 3:30 pm

Discriminative stimulus is
The SD is a specific environmental cue or event that signals the availability of reinforcement for a particular behavior. In simpler terms, an SD tells an individual that if they perform a certain action, they will likely receive a desired consequence or reward.
What is DTT?
DTT is a step-by-step method of teaching skills in ABA therapy. It involves breaking an activity down into several smaller components and teaching them one by one, providing clear instructions and prompts, followed by reinforcement when the child successfully completes the task.
True or False: I can use the sensory pod when my learner is not listening to me.
False. We never force a child into any area. Sensory pods are for a child to regulate their emotions.
Can a therapist call 911?
Yes, if the emergency warrants it.
My BCBA has not changed a program target out of baseline for 2 months. What do I do?
Message the BCBA. No response? Then, create a message with BCBA, Lead BCBA, and Managers.
What is IRT? Words and definition
Inter-response time (IRT) refers to the duration of time between two consecutive responses emitted by an individual. In simple terms, it measures the time gap between one behavior and the subsequent behavior.
5%
What time are session notes supposed to be submitted by?

If the therapist and their learner are injured at work during the same accident, what does the therapist fill out?
Learner incident report and staff incident report.
How long do you have to become a RBT?

Naturalistic teaching is
Give an example of stimulus control transfer.
Stimulus control transfer is a critical concept in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) that refers to the process of transferring the control of a behavior from one stimulus to another.
Ex. Learner transitions when alarms go off. Start saying "lets go" when alarm goes off. Fade alarm out, until Learner transition when therapist says, "lets go".
Can a behavior technician with a learner watch another therapist learner while that therapist takes a break?
No. Breaks are given by leads, BCBAs, and technicians without a learner.
Where do you go when there is a fire?
In front of Hong Kong. In the downstairs, concerte area.
What does ABA stand for?
Applied Behavior Analysis
Extinction Burst is
You use the strategy extinction (stop reinforcing a behavior), then a brief increase in the intensity or frequency of a behavior you’re trying to stop happens (extinction burst).
What is Motivating Operations?
Motivating operations refer to environmental events or conditions that change the desirability or effectiveness of a specific consequence, thereby influencing the likelihood of a particular behavior occurring. They can be classified into two main types: Establishing Operations (EOs) and Abolishing Operations (AOs).
True or False: If my break is over 10 minutes, the therapist watching my learner gets a 10 minute session with my learner.
False. 15 minutes
Where do we go if a shooter comes into the building?
Breakroom.
What is Interobserver Agreement (IOA)?
Interobserver Agreement (IOA) refers to the degree of agreement or consistency between two or more observers in their observations or measurements of behavior. It helps to determine the reliability and accuracy of data collection.
