A BHT observes that a client performs a target skill perfectly in the therapy room but not at school. To address this, the BHT should:
Answer: Implement generalization strategies such as programming common stimuli
Programming common stimuli involves incorporating elements from the generalization setting into training to promote skill transfer.
A client's treatment plan specifies using a visual schedule to support daily routine compliance. The BHT's role is to:
Answer: Implement the visual schedule as prescribed and collect data on compliance
BHTs implement prescribed strategies with fidelity and collect data; any modifications require supervisor approval.
Which of the following best describes the concept of maintenance in treatment plan implementation?
Answer: The client continues to perform a skill over time without ongoing training
Maintenance refers to a client's continued performance of a learned skill after training has been reduced or discontinued.
A treatment plan goal includes a mastery criterion of '80% correct across 3 consecutive sessions.' The BHT should advance the goal when:
Answer: The client achieves 80% correct in three sessions in a row
The mastery criterion must be met exactly as written—80% correct across three consecutive sessions before advancement.
During implementation of an emotion regulation skill goal, the BHT should use modeling to:
Answer: Demonstrate the skill themselves so the client can observe and imitate
Modeling involves the BHT demonstrating the target skill so the client can observe and imitate the behavior.
A BHT's supervisor reviews session data and determines a treatment goal should be modified. Who is responsible for formally updating the treatment plan?
Answer: The licensed supervising clinician
Treatment plan modifications are within the scope of the licensed supervising clinician, not the BHT.
A BHT is implementing an extinction procedure as part of a behavior reduction goal. Which outcome is expected in the early phases of extinction?
Answer: A temporary increase in the frequency or intensity of the behavior (extinction burst)
An extinction burst—a temporary increase in the problem behavior—is a well-documented initial effect when extinction is first implemented.
