Collaboration to support client services: Social validity and feasibility. | BCBA Practice Question

Question

Difficulty: easy. Skill: recognize. Type: applied scenario.

The team is choosing an intervention for dropping to the floor when demands are presented. Assessment and stakeholder feedback must be considered under collaboration to support client services. What should the BCBA prioritize? The case file includes 4 recent sessions, 4 implementers, and 4 settings.

Revise the plan collaboratively so it remains function-based and feasible for stakeholders in relation to child's dropping to the floor when demands are presented

Correct answer

Rely on parent's report alone and stop collecting direct evidence

Change the intervention immediately based on the concern alone

Continue unchanged and ignore the new contextual information

Explanation

Answer A

The clue is the combination of caregiver notes plus one direct observation, dropping to the floor when demands are presented, and the required task: Collaboration to support client services. The case file includes 4 recent sessions, 4 implementers, and 4 settings. Revise the plan collaboratively so it remains function-based and feasible for stakeholders in relation to child's dropping to the floor when demands are presented is best because it answers that clue through social validity and feasibility instead of treating the scenario as a generic behavior problem. On exam items like this, name the decision point first, then eliminate options that rely on one report, a label, a familiar protocol, or an action that skips the relevant data check.
