Following a behavior plan exactly as written is a critical responsibility for Registered Behavior Technicians® (RBTs) and a cornerstone of ethical, effective Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) practice. Even small deviations from a plan—whether intentional or unintentional—can impact client progress, compromise data integrity, and create ethical concerns.

This course provides RBTs with a practical understanding of treatment fidelity, why it matters, and how it directly affects client outcomes. Through real-world scenarios, interactive examples, and guided decision-making, learners will explore common barriers to fidelity, the consequences of drift, and the appropriate steps to take when a behavior plan is not working or raises concerns. Emphasis is placed on professional communication, accurate documentation, and ethical advocacy to ensure client safety and high-quality care.

Course access is provided for three (3) years from the date of purchase.
