1 1/15 A clinical note from a session during a group activity states: Mateo practices how to shaping. The father observes that the practical objective is to reinforce successive approximations toward the target behavior, but the situation includes material changes, environmental cues, and data that could be overinterpreted. Before recording or acting, the RBT reviews the written plan, response criteria, and what occurred in the last few minutes so the procedure is not changed outside the RBT role. Which decision is most consistent with the program objective? Use the approach matching the written objective and allowing data comparison across sessions without changing criteria. Follow the written procedure, record only verifiable events, and communicate any relevant variation through the indicated route., maintaining the same written criterion and the same documentation method for the rest of the session Use the same general procedure, but adjust recording when environmental cues seem to explain the response. Continue the session with the available format and complete missing details later using memory and general notes.
