RBT Competency

TermDefinition
Continuous Measurement Frequency, duration, latency, IRT
Frequency Counting how many times a behavior occurs
Duration How long the behavior lasts
Rate Frequency of behavior over a specific amount of time
Latency Onset of a stimulus to the start of a response (give command, takes client 20 seconds to respond)
IRT Inter Response Time Time between the end of one response to the start of another response (screaming ends, 30 sec in between, screaming starts again)
Discontinuous measurement Partial interval, whole interval, momentary time sampling
Partial interval* Taking data in intervals. See if the behavior occurs at any time throughout the interval`
Whole interval* If the behavior lasts over the entire interval time
Momentary Time Sampling Measuring if the behavior is occurring at a particular schedule (checking every X minutes). (hour long interval, is behavior happening at the end of the interval)
How to Prepare for Data Assessment Have a pencil and appropriate data sheets. Have all learning material ready. Table paired with reinforcers.
Behavior should be described in: Observable and measurable terms
Preference assessments Ways to determine potential reinforcers
Free operant (preference assessment) Child plays in natural environment, observe and keep track of what they are engaging in
Forced choice 2 items, child chooses, replace item with something else, choose again
Multiple stimulus w/ replacement 3+ items, child chooses, replace the other two items and have them choose again
Multiple stimulus w/o replacement 3+ items, child chooses, take that item away and do not replace it
ABC data* Antecedent, behavior, consequence
Antecedent What occurs before the behavior. Can be the SD
Discrete Trial Teaching (DTT) Used to teach new behaviors. Correct responses are reinforced
Naturalistic teaching The activity itself is reinforcing to the learner. Shaping behavior naturally
Incidental teaching Teaching in the natural environment and facilitates generalization
Chaining Each step in the task analysis is a chain to teach the entire skill (washing hands, brushing teeth)
Shaping Reinforce approximations until mastered, continuing until the target is reached ("b", "ba", "ball")
Discrimination training Teaching the learner to discriminate between two different things (which one is pink?) Conditional discrimination: teaching two concepts at the same time so the learner knows how to discriminate between them (hot & cold)
Stimulus control transfer Stimulus control is transferred to a different antecedent stimulus to fade out the initial one (Prompts are removed once the target behavior is occurring in the presence of the SD)
Stimulus fading Gradually fading a stimulus (prompt) to obtain independent responses
Prompt fading Reduce assistance to lesser intrusive prompts
Token systems* Tokens given after a response and can be exchanged for a backup reinforcer. Preferred reinforcers cost more. Tokens are a symbol and client must be motivated to receive tokens for them to be effective
Emergency protocol* If a child is injured, take care of the injury, notify caregiver, fill out an incident report and submit it to the case manager
Crisis protocol* If crisis behavior occurs, block dangerous items and access to preferred items. Redirect to a neutral activity or end session. Notify caregivers and BCBA
Antecedent interventions Modifying the environment in which the undesirable behavior occurs. Motivating/establishing operations, behavioral momentum, errorless learning.
Continuous reinforcement Used for teaching new skills. Reinforcement provided after every correct response
Intermittent/Variable reinforcement Provide reinforcement on an average (every X responses)
DRI Differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior - Reinforcing a behavior that is incompatible and unable to occur at the same time as the behavior for reduction
DRA Differential reinforcement of alternative behavior - Reinforcement of a behavior taught to be used as a replacement of behavior for reduction (Teaching a child to say "open" to replace the behavior of crying when they want things opened)
DRO Differential reinforcement of other behavior - Reinforcing the absence of behavior (Provide skittles for staying in his seat during circle)
Extinction Withholding reinforcement contingent upon a problem behavior. Reinforcement of a previously reinforced behavior is discontinued.
Client dignity* Client safety is priority, considerate and respectful of beliefs, service without discrimination. HIPAA and confidentiality
Professional boundaries* No accepting/giving gifts to clients/families. No relationship outside of the work environment. No social media posts/photos. Cannot provide services to family members/friends
Supervision requirements* Ongoing supervision for minimum of 5% of hours spent providing services/month. Supervision includes 2 face-to-face contacts a month, during which the supervisor observes the RBT
When do you seek clinical direction?* Seek clinical direction from BCBA if a new adverse behavior is developing, If you have questions about a program or are not sure how to correctly run it
