Final answer:
C. notify the BCBA
When a learner is not responding to prompting, error correction, and reinforcement as expected, the RBT should notify the BCBA to assess and modify the intervention strategies.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the learner is responding in a way that is not addressed by the prompting, error correction, and reinforcement procedures, the Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) must notify the Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). It is vital for RBTs to follow the prescribed behavioral protocols, but when the learner's responses fall outside what those procedures account for, the supervising BCBA needs to be informed. The BCBA can then adjust or create new behavior intervention plans to better address the learner's specific responses.
