Case Study: Yvette is a newly registered behavior technician (RBT) who has recently started shadowing Cindy, a veteran board-certified behavior analyst (BCBA) who has been employed at the Best Behaviors Clinic for 15 years. Yvette accompanies the BCBA on a home visit. The client is Jack, a 10-year-old boy diagnosed with autism. He also has several life-threatening food allergies. Yvette notices as they enter the home that the BCBA embraces Jack's two younger siblings and his parents. As the family is cooking dinner, Cindy is invited to join them in the kitchen, which she does. She asks Yvette to go meet with Jack in the other room. The BCBA chats casually with Jack's parents, seemingly updating them on her son's recent soccer win and her wife's new job. Cindy finally gets around to asking about how the family has been following Jack's behavior intervention plan. His parents share that Jack has been stealing food that he is allergic to and becomes aggressive when he is not allowed to have it. The RBT notices that half the time for the home visit passes before the BCBA joins her in the other room with the client. The visit is concluded without the BCBA making any notes, and no paperwork is immediately completed. Yvette later comments to her RBT colleagues at the clinic that she felt very out of her depth working with a client with problem eating behaviors, as she has no prior experience. She also commented on the BCBA's casual behavior with the family.
