Why Following a Behavior Plan Matters

Following a behavior plan exactly as written is a core responsibility of Registered Behavior Technicians® (RBTs). It also supports ethical and effective Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) practice. Even small changes to a plan can affect client progress. In addition, deviations weaken data accuracy and create ethical concerns. For these reasons, treatment fidelity plays a critical role in high-quality care.

What This Course Teaches

This course helps RBTs understand treatment fidelity, why it matters, and how it directly impacts client outcomes. Through real-world scenarios and guided decision-making, learners explore common challenges that interfere with fidelity. As a result, RBTs gain practical strategies they can use immediately in daily practice.

By the end of the course, learners will be able to:

  • Follow a behavior plan exactly as written

  • Identify common causes of treatment drift

  • Respond appropriately when a plan is unclear or ineffective

  • Communicate concerns professionally with supervisors

  • Document accurately and ethically

Practical Application in ABA Settings

Additionally, the course emphasizes professional communication, ethical advocacy, and accurate documentation. Learners examine what to do when a behavior plan does not appear to work or raises concerns. Instead of making changes independently, RBTs learn how to escalate concerns appropriately.

 

Overall, this course strengthens treatment fidelity and supports client safety. Most importantly, it helps RBTs deliver consistent, ethical, and high-quality ABA services across clinical, school, and home settings.

This is a multi-modal course primarily focused on reading materials with minimal use of video content.

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