Compound schedule of reinforcement consisting of two or more schedules, each with a corresponding SD, that operate both independently and simultaneously
Concurrent schedule of reinforcement
Option selected when you cancel a session less than an hour before session occurs
Staff: No Show
If you are not prompting or correcting a client for a target, what phase is that target currently in?

3 Categories of Strategies in a Behavior Intervention Plan
Antecedent Strategies, Replacement Behavior Strategies, Consequence Strategies
Keeps a client motivated for learning, keeps them motivated, and reduces challenging behaviors
Universal Strategies
When Most to Least Prompting is used
Errorless Teaching
A short period of time for the client to enjoy their reward/reinforcer while you are entering data
Intertrial Interval
Client goes into crisis
Implement the crisis plan
Once de-escalated, enter ABC notes and complete an incident report form.
Document in client notes and notify supervisor.
