Do not alter the plan; relay the request to the supervisor.
02A learner leaves the table three times. Why is “did not want to work” poor session wording?

03Data suddenly depart from the usual pattern. What should happen?
Check collection accuracy, document relevant conditions, and contact the supervisor.
04An RBT receives a social-media request from a client's family. What is the safest response?
Follow the workplace and BACB boundary rules and discuss the request with the supervisor rather than creating a personal connection.
05A response plan is written, but the RBT cannot recall one action. What should happen?
Pause when safe, consult the approved instructions, and ask the supervisor before proceeding.
