Question
Difficulty: hard. Skill: analyze. Type: applied scenario.
Assessment data suggest a less intrusive plan may address pausing work after corrective feedback, but the team asks for a faster restrictive option. Across 8 sessions in service week 46, one observer recorded 48 minutes of observation in the vocational training room. The BCBA should:
AUse the most restrictive option first because it may produce the fastest visible change.
BKeep a plan that works in sessions even though the people implementing it cannot do it reliably.
CRemove supports abruptly once the graph improves for two sessions.
DRevise the plan with stakeholders so it remains function based and practical to implement.Correct answer

Explanation
Answer DThe decision point is: Does the answer choose a feasible, least intrusive, function-based intervention and monitor implementation? This item specifically tests Collaboration to support client services through a applied-client-service-scenario format. The key clue is in the stem facts: Assessment data suggest a less intrusive plan may address pausing work after corrective feedback, but the team asks for a faster restrictive option. Across 8 sessions in service week 46, one observer recorded 48 minutes of observation in the vocational training room. The BCBA should: Answer D is strongest because it follows this rule: Revise the plan with stakeholders so it remains function based and practical to implement. It fits the source-backed rule without announcing that rule in the stem. The tempting mistake is to choose a shortcut before the scenario's prerequisite is satisfied. This choice moves too quickly toward a more intrusive response. The better answer checks function, risk, feasibility, and less intrusive options first. Exam move: name the missing prerequisite first, then eliminate answers that jump to a label, a familiar procedure, a single data point, or an undocumented action.

Why the other choices are weaker
AChoice AThis choice moves too quickly toward a more intrusive response. The better answer checks function, risk, feasibility, and less intrusive options first.
BChoice BThis choice is weaker because it does not resolve the key prerequisite in the scenario: assessment data suggest a less intrusive plan may address pausing work after corrective feedback, but the team asks for a faster restrictive option. Across 8 sessions in service week 46, one observer recorded 48 minutes of observation in the vocational training room. The BCBA should:
CChoice CThis choice weakens the data basis for the decision. A defensible answer must check whether the measurement, observation, or visual-analysis evidence supports the next step.
