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

Question

Difficulty: hard. Skill: analyze. Type: applied scenario.

A plan for completing a multi-step job routine works in sessions but is difficult for job coach to use. Which decision best fits collaboration to support client services? The case file includes 10 recent sessions, 2 implementers, and 1 setting.

Proceed informally because the team believes the action will help

Tell everyone to try harder and review the case next month

Treat the most recent data point as proof of the final conclusion

Revise the plan collaboratively so it remains function-based and feasible for stakeholders in relation to adult client's stopping work after corrective feedback

Correct answer

Explanation

Answer D

The clue is the combination of duration data showing long pauses after feedback, stopping work after corrective feedback, and the required task: Collaboration to support client services. The case file includes 10 recent sessions, 2 implementers, and 1 setting. Revise the plan collaboratively so it remains function-based and feasible for stakeholders in relation to adult client's stopping work after corrective feedback 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.
