During teaching, an adult client responds correctly with one example but errors increase with new materials and staff. Across 6 sessions in service week 9, one observer recorded 52 minutes of observation in the vocational training room. The BCBA should:

Assessment data suggest a less intrusive plan may address calling out during independent work, but the team asks for a faster restrictive option. Across 5 sessions in service week 10, 2 observers recorded 56 minutes of observation in the elementary classroom. The BCBA should:
