I have ADHD and the 40 hour course killed me to sit through. It was so long and boring that I couldn’t retain a lot. Your video helped me to retain more in 23 minutes then in a 40 hour course!!!🎉 Sweet, short, and to the point! Great examples as well, Thank you!

[@moderndayaba]

This is wonderful to hear, thanks so much! There’s a lot of good stuff in those videos not included here, but you are so right, they are looooong.

[@urdin2242]

Same exact experience!

[@grace-loves-hamsters]

I had that same exact problem and I was so anxious throughout it! This video helped boost my confidence!

[@jacquelineddoss5298]

yea, it was so intense for me as well.. i randomly screamed out loud thru the process to get me thru it

[@L3xluxuryy]

This video was extremely helpful, I watched it everyday multiple times a day for an entire week before my competency assessment. I went in to take it feeling well prepared and very confident. It was a breeze thanks to you, I passed!

[@moderndayaba]

That is SO COOL to hear! 😊 This field needs more people like you who put in extra time to become great at their work. Congrats on passing! Are there any other topics you think might be helpful for me to do a video on?

[@emilyjensen2263]

A video about the multiple choice RBT Exam would be helpful :)

[@arezoohsd7515]

Could you please tell me that all the things that BCBA asked during the assessment is these 20? Or he/she asked more questions?

[@moderndayaba]

Noted! Honestly it’s been years since I took the exam but I know a lot of people who have passed recently, I can see what they have to say.

[@shabishablol5802]

That’s great! Good luck. I’m studying the 40 hours training now. I’m reading about everything but still trying to figure it out….. maybe you can help me? After the 40 hours training, what next? I saw I need to take A Competency Assessment How I sign for it? What’s the process? How much it cost? What if I fail in it? Any information you have would help me Thank you

i've watched this a few times, my assessment is in 8 hours haha but i'm really excited and a lot less nervous now that im really able to take notes and understand these terms more. I've been a behavior technician for almost a year so I'm excited to get my RBT soon!

[@moderndayaba]

How did it go??

[@mistermarlett]

@@moderndayaba It went great! I passed it was very chill. I will be checking out more of your videos as my BCBA/observer said she will provide me with more resources in understanding DTT more. I do understand a lot of it unfortunately the trials I ran were just added into the program the day before so although they were quite simple I used RR stimuli rather than Mass Trial. So definitely going to pay closer attention and watch some more from you :)

[@flex_luthor96]

I've been an RBT for a year now and I am up for renewal. Like you said everyone gets tripped up on discontinuous measurement (myself included). We started my renewal competency Monday and I blanked on this part, luckily, I have a mulligan as my BCBA didn't sign off on it yet. I sometimes get irrationally anxious when it comes to these things. I know the material but I get tripped up so videos like this definitely help me retain what I have learned as sometimes auditory is not my best method of learning but a combination of written and visual learning. I do the rest of the renewal competency tomorrow so wish me luck!

[@user-hh5mu9zy1h]

my assessment is tomorrow and im scared to pieces. usually when I get too nervous, I forget everything in that moment, even though I actually know it

[@moderndayaba]

A lot of people go through that same thing! In fact I’d say 99% of people. If it helps, the person doing your assessment is rooting for you to pass. Try to take a deep breath and give yourself time to think during each task if you need it. You got this!!!

[@user-ev7lt6dl4o]

This video is so helpful!! I know you mentioned to not worry too much about shaping but what are some examples of shaping that the BCBA will walk us through? I’m just confused how this would be demonstrated in an assessment

[@moderndayaba]

The one I always do is shaping vocal imitation. So, if the terminal target is imitating saying “ball,” I might start by accepting any vocalization, then “bah” after that’s mastered, then “ball” after that’s mastered. And I shape that by only giving reinforcement for acceptable topographies. Make sense?

[@user-ev7lt6dl4o]

@@moderndayaba Yes, thank you so much!

[@bgraceafi5910]

Please how to I contact you, I need a supervision. Thanks 🙏

[@brickhontes52]

What helped me in particular from your video was the emergency and supervisor parts that you covered (such as reminding me 5% of the session should be supervised) I didn't study too much so I relied most on your video and the wisdom of over a year's experience. Although I know schedules of reinforcement I am glad that wasn't on the test lol.Your video will definitely help others in the future ☺️

This is typically arranged by your BCBA once you have been hired to an ABA agency.

[@harleenriar2627]

Where do you live? Are you in California? I’m looking for a BCBA supervisor for my RBT assessment.

[@moderndayaba]

Hi there! I'm in Oklahoma. You will need to apply to ABA therapist / RBT jobs in your area. Once hired, a BCBA will be assigned to you, train you, and do your comp assessment. :)

[@Elizabethp99]

Does the BCBA tell you which behavior we are observing?

[@moderndayaba]

Yes, any behaviors being measured or changed will be identified in advance!

[@farjanakhan3082]

Hi, I have finished 40 hours training. Now I am waiting for taking Competency Assessment. But I didn’t find any BCBA analysis who can help me. Can you help me? And Can I do this test online?

[@moderndayaba]

Hi Farjana! Typically you’d have a BCBA supervisor once you are hired by an ABA company. They will then do your competency assessment. Once you’ve passed that, I believe you must take the exam in person at a Pearson testing center.

[@bgraceafi5910]

How much does it cost for supervision and the exam

[@moderndayaba]

Hi there, I don’t remember exactly what the cost of the exam is, but you should be able to find that info on bacb.com. As for supervision cost, I’ve never heard of RBTs paying for supervision. Usually you receive it when you work for an ABA organization because the BCBA oversees your client’s case.

[@sobiashabbir1228]

Hi! Sorry for crashing under this thread. I just completed my 40 hr training through APF and would like to go ahead with the competency assessment. However, I'm not working so I don't have any supervisor. Can you please refer me to a good supervisor? The ones I'm checking online are charging alot 😢
