A BHT is working on a treatment goal targeting independent hygiene routines using a task analysis. Which step represents correct task analysis implementation?
Answer: Teaching the last step of the chain first (backward chaining)
Backward chaining teaches the final step first, allowing the client to experience completion of the routine, which can be reinforcing.
A treatment plan specifies a fixed-ratio reinforcement schedule (FR5). This means the BHT should deliver reinforcement:
Answer: After every 5 correct responses
A fixed-ratio schedule delivers reinforcement after a set, consistent number of correct responses.
When implementing a Functional Communication Training (FCT) goal, the BHT's primary aim is to:
Answer: Replace problem behavior with a functional communicative response
FCT replaces problem behaviors that serve a communicative function with appropriate, equivalent communication responses.
A client's treatment plan includes a goal to increase on-task behavior. A BHT uses a 10-second partial interval recording system. A response is recorded if the target behavior occurs:
Answer: At any point during the interval
Partial interval recording scores an interval as positive if the target behavior occurs at any point during that interval.
A family member asks a BHT to explain the client's treatment plan in detail during an unscheduled home visit. The BHT should:
Answer: Decline and refer the family member to the supervising clinician
Sharing clinical treatment plan details is the supervisor's role; BHTs should refer family inquiries to the supervising clinician.
When documenting session progress toward a treatment plan goal, which information is MOST essential?
Answer: Objective behavioral data with dates and session conditions
Objective behavioral data tied to specific dates and conditions is the most essential element of accurate progress documentation.
A treatment plan includes both a skill acquisition goal and a behavior reduction goal. During sessions, the BHT should generally prioritize:
Answer: Both goals as directed by the supervisor and treatment plan
BHTs address goals according to the treatment plan structure and supervisor direction, not their personal prioritization.
