I have been working with children ages 3 to 12 years old who have been diagnosed with ASD for 10 years. I started as an RBT but recently became a BCBA. As a new BCBA my employer requested I take over a case for another BCBA where the client is a 39 year old man who has been diagnosed with ASD and Dyslexia. In order to provide services, I should first

b. Discuss the treatment plan with my employer
c. Shadow and discuss the current treatment plan with the previous BCBA
d. Analyze the previously collected data and write a new treatment plan.

a. Attempt to fill in the missing information with commonly known research supported ABA procedures
b. attempt to contact the original authors of the treatment procedure

I want to take data on my clients tantrum behaviors in the classroom setting. I am personally unable to observe and record the data due to scheduling conflicts so I train the classroom teacher on how to reocrd the data for me. Based on previously collected ABC data, we determined the target behaviors mainly occur when the client is presented with a novel task. The target behaviors also reportedly occur for long durations and require the observer/teacher to intervene many times to keep the client safe. Which of the following measurement systems would be best and why?
a. Continuous measurement because it is suitable for behavior which occur for long durations
b. Discontinous measurement because it is suitable for behavior which occur for long durations
c. Continuous measurement because it is suitable for behavior which occur for high rates
d. Discontinous measurement because it is suitable for behavior which occur for low rates
b. Discontinous measurement because it is suitable for behavior which occur for long durations
I am recording my clients hand raising behaviors during math class. I divide the duration of his math class into 10 minute intervals and record the number of times my client independently raises his hand during each interval. Which of the fundamental properties, or dimensional quantities of behavior am I measuring?
a. Repeatability
b. Temporal Extend
c. Temporal Locus
d. None, the behavior is not directly observable
