Starting a session prepared sets the tone for effective, ethical ABA services. When behavior technicians take just a few minutes to review plans, materials, and safety considerations, sessions run more smoothly and learners experience more consistent support.
The 5-Minute Session Prep Checklist for Behavior Technicians is a free, one-page printable designed to help technicians get ready quickly—without skipping essential steps.
Why a 5-Minute Prep Checklist Matters
Behavior technicians often transition between clients, settings, and goals throughout the day. Without a quick preparation routine, important details like reinforcement plans or crisis procedures can be overlooked.
This checklist provides a simple structure to support consistency, readiness, and professionalism before each session begins.
