A team wants to know whether a plan reduces a target behavior while increasing a useful alternative. Which class-period data set best supports that evaluation?
- A
Record only whether the target behavior happened, without defining an episode or recording a replacement behavior.
- B
Count defined target-behavior episodes and independent help or break requests during each class period.
- C
Record staff impressions of whether the student seemed cooperative.
- D
Record only the number of tasks assigned during each class period.

- A
Offer the learner choices before beginning a task.
- B
Make instructions clearer or adjust task difficulty and pacing.

Assessment suggests that desk sweeping occurs most often when difficult work is presented and is followed by task removal. Which plan is the best assessment-linked starting point?
- A
Require the same difficult workload and remove all communication opportunities.
- B
Wait until sweeping occurs, then teach a request without specifying how that request will be reinforced.
- C
Reduce unnecessary task difficulty, teach a request for help or a brief break, and promptly reinforce those requests.
- D
Assume the assessment proves the behavior's function and use the same procedure in every situation.

At a scheduled review, which factors should a team consider before deciding whether to continue, adjust, or stop procedures? Select all that apply.
- A
Whether the target behavior is changing in the desired direction.
- B
Whether the replacement skill is increasing and working in relevant situations.
- C
Whether plan steps are feasible and consistently implemented.
- D
Whether one unusually good day occurred, considered by itself.
- E
Whether there are adverse effects or contextual changes and whether the assessment hypothesis still fits the data.

A team is considering an additional behavior-reduction procedure. Which condition best reflects the requirements for including it in a plan?
- A
Use any procedure that seems likely to reduce behavior, even if it has not been assessed or authorized.
- B
Use a procedure only when it is assessment-based, authorized, within the implementer's training, and accompanied by safeguards and review.
- C
Ask implementers to improvise a restrictive procedure if the plan is inconvenient.
- D
Continue a procedure whenever it reduces the target behavior, regardless of risk or authorization.

A team is considering extinction, but its risk assessment indicates that escalation could create an unmanaged safety risk. What is the best course?
- A
Continue the procedure unchanged because temporary escalation is always harmless.
- B
Use extinction without coordinating reinforcement for an alternative response.
- C
Assume that staff can manage any escalation without training or an individualized assessment.
- D
Do not begin or continue extinction when it creates an unmanaged safety risk; ensure individualized risk assessment, training, and monitoring.

Assessment suggests that a learner's desk sweeping is most likely during difficult work and is often followed by task removal. Describe a function-based plan that includes prevention, a replacement skill and reinforcement, staff response and safety safeguards, and a data and review approach.

Which target-behavior definition best supports consistent measurement of desk sweeping by different observers?
- A
The student is defiant whenever work is difficult.
- B
A work-material sweep occurs when the student uses a hand or arm to move one or more items off the desk; count a new instance after 10 seconds without the behavior.
- C
The student becomes out of control during work time.
- D
A sweep occurs when the student seems frustrated by the assignment.

Assessment suggests that desk sweeping is more likely when difficult work is presented. Which plan step is an antecedent intervention that directly addresses this finding?
- A
Wait until desk sweeping occurs, then decide what support the student needs.
- B
Use the same task difficulty and pacing regardless of the assessment findings.
- C
Adjust task difficulty or pacing to address the conditions associated with desk sweeping.
- D
Focus only on recording how many times desk sweeping happens.

A student's desk sweeping may result in difficult work being removed. Which teaching approach best provides a useful alternative that could serve a similar purpose?
- A
Teach the student to request help or a break, and reinforce the request.
- B
Teach a skill unrelated to the situation and provide no reinforcement for it.
- C
Teach the student to wait silently, regardless of what the behavior communicates.
- D
Focus on reducing the target behavior without teaching an alternative response.
