Question 1

What does it mean for an RBT to work within their 'scope of practice'?

Accepted Answer

An RBT only performs tasks and responsibilities they have been trained and authorized to do under the supervision of a BCBA or BCaBA, and does not attempt to perform duties beyond their role.

Question 2

An RBT is asked by a parent to explain why a specific behavior intervention was chosen for their child. What is the appropriate response?

Accepted Answer

The RBT should refer the parent to the supervising BCBA, as explaining the rationale for clinical decisions is outside the RBT's scope of practice.

Question 3

Who is responsible for designing a client's behavior intervention plan?

Accepted Answer

The supervising BCBA (or BCaBA under BCBA supervision) is responsible for designing behavior intervention plans; RBTs implement but do not design them.

Question 4

What should an RBT do if they are unsure whether a task falls within their scope of practice?

Accepted Answer

The RBT should consult their supervising BCBA before proceeding to ensure the task is appropriate and they have been trained to perform it.

Question 5

According to BACB requirements, what is the minimum percentage of an RBT's total monthly service hours that must be directly supervised?

Accepted Answer

At least 5% of the RBT's total monthly service hours must be supervised, with at least one supervisory contact per month being a direct observation.
