Hello, all! I have a question regarding PDU requirements for RBTs. It was my understanding that any ACE provider event that a BCBA can attend for CEU credits would also count as PDU credits for RBTs. However, I am now seeing that some organizations are providing events that specifically have PDU listed rather than CEU GEN, ETH, or SUP. Does anyone know if the event has to have PDU listed to count for RBTs? Any guidance is greatly appreciated! (I also plan to reach out to the BACB).

I have heard that BCBA cannot diagnose autism but can administer the Ados-2 as long as you partner with a licensed psychologist or refer to a licensed professional who can diagnose. I just want to hear more about your experience on this and is it beneficial for you if you learn about this

I’ve worked with youngsters prior, but I welcome any and everything to help with this grown (sometimes aggressive) gentleman.

I need input on when to provide feedback during a supervision session in terms of test taking. It's been over a decade since I took the exam. In practice, I always ask my RBTs how they prefer it and which way helps them learn the best. Some prefer it immediately in order to correct the mistake, some prefer it after the trial (DTT) is over to avoid interruptions and some prefer it at the end so they can have time to take it in because it difficult for them to take it all in during their 1-1 time with the student/client. I do immediate if it is an ethical or safety concern but I'm not sure if that's the scenario within the test and mock exams.

Hello, all! Reaching out to see if anyone has resources or general suggestions for middle school/high school students who engage in frequent sleeping throughout the school day. I recognize that each individual's situation is very unique, and sleep deprivation, medications, mental health concerns, etc. can impact this behavior. Anything is appreciated!
