Is That Within My Role? RBT Ethics, Boundaries, and Supervision

Clarify professional boundaries when families, teachers, or colleagues request changes or raise concerns. Distinguish the RBT’s implementation responsibilities from clinical decisions reserved for the supervisor. Select ethical responses, appropriate communication channels, and factual records through fictional stakeholder scenarios.

This bilingual, asynchronous course uses multiple-choice knowledge checks and fictional case decisions. It supports knowledge and case-based application within the RBT role; it does not assess observed hands-on implementation or certify independent clinical competence.

• Distinguish RBT tasks from clinical decisions reserved for the supervisor.
• Select ethical responses to requests from parents, teachers, or colleagues to change procedures.
• Select appropriate messages and records to communicate concerns, request clarification, and document information relevant to supervision.

1. Distinguish implementation tasks from independent clinical decisions.
2. Respond to requests to change procedures while remaining within role.
3. Select appropriate, privacy-conscious communication channels.
4. Choose factual clarification requests and supervision records.

Assessment and completion: Complete the instructional activities, multiple-choice knowledge checks, case-based decisions, and final multiple-choice assessment, then submit the course evaluation as directed. Final assessment time is separate from the 50 planned instructional minutes.

Completion documentation: After all course requirements are met and your learner information is confirmed, Bhavioral Academy automatically generates your official PDU completion form (constancia) with the coordinator’s authorized signature, ready for immediate download. Taking both language versions does not provide duplicate credit.

Professional scope: Designed for RBTs with foundational behavior-analytic training who work under supervision. Follow the individualized plan and your supervisor’s instructions. These selected-response activities do not replace required supervision, safety training, or direct observation of implementation.
