1 PDU for RBTs | 60 Minutes
Presented by Nikeda Stanback, M.Ed., BCBA, LBA, IBA
Turn boring data sheets into an engaging, Netflix-inspired system that RBTs actually want to use. This 55-minute, 1-CEU course draws on the world’s most successful streaming platform to teach precision data collection techniques that boost client outcomes and make your job more satisfying.
You’ll learn why Netflix tracks every second of your viewing behavior—and how that same obsessive attention to detail can transform your approach to behavioral measurement. Through binge-watching analogies, you’ll break down continuous vs. discontinuous measurement, explore IOA, sidestep common data pitfalls, and examine the ethics of maintaining accurate and reliable data.
This course addresses RBT Task List requirements A-1 (Prepare for data collection), A-3 (Implement continuous measurement procedures), A-4 (Implement discontinuous measurement procedures), A-5 (Enter data and update graphs), A-8 (Implement IOA procedures), and B-5 (Comply with data collection, storage, and reporting requirements). By the end, you’ll understand how precision data collection drives better treatment outcomes and how to implement systems that support both client progress and professional growth.
BACB Compliance Note: This training covers general principles of data collection. Always consult your supervising BCBA before implementing new measurement methods or modifying existing procedures.
