When using frequency recording, the RBT documents:
Answer: Each occurrence of the target behavior as it happens during the session
Frequency (or event) recording requires the RBT to tally each individual instance of the target behavior as it occurs, producing a raw count that can later be converted to a rate.
ABC data collection requires the RBT to record:
Answer: Antecedent, Behavior, and Consequence for each behavioral event
ABC recording captures the environmental event immediately before the behavior (antecedent), the behavior itself, and the event that followed (consequence), providing functional information used in behavioral assessment.
Permanent product recording is most appropriate when the target behavior:
Answer: Produces a lasting, observable outcome after it has occurred
Permanent product recording documents the tangible result left behind by the behavior (e.g., completed worksheets, broken items), allowing measurement even when the behavior itself was not directly observed.
Which situation should an RBT report to their supervisor immediately rather than waiting until the next scheduled check-in?
Answer: A sudden, unexpected increase in self-injurious behavior during the session
Unexpected or significant changes in behavior — especially those involving safety — require immediate supervisor notification so the treatment plan can be reviewed and client welfare protected.
In a discrete trial training (DTT) data sheet, each row typically captures:
Answer: Whether the client's response was correct, incorrect, or prompted on a single trial
DTT data sheets are structured trial-by-trial, recording the client's response code (correct, incorrect, prompted, no response) for each individual trial so accuracy across trials can be calculated.
Under HIPAA, an RBT's client session notes and data sheets must be:
Answer: Kept confidential and disclosed only to individuals authorized under the client's privacy agreement
HIPAA classifies behavioral health records as protected health information (PHI); RBTs must limit disclosure to authorized parties (e.g., supervising BCBA, parent/guardian with consent) and follow their agency's privacy policies.
