The responsible assessor must:  \n• Ensure that the assessment is conducted in accordance with these requirements;  \n• Sign the Initial Competency Assessment;  \n• Maintain records of all assessments conducted; and  \n• Ensure that the assessment meets quality standards, even when asssistant assessor(s) are involved in conducting the assessment.  \nAssistant assessor(s): The responsible assessor may delegate some or all of the assessment to an assistant assessor who has demonstrated, through direct observation, proficiency in the material being delivered. This individual does not need to be certified by the BACB, however, the responsible assessor is professionally and ethically accountable for all of the assistant assessor’s activities. The responsible assessor may utilize multiple assistant assessors for a single Competency Assessment.  \nThe responsible assessor and assistant assessor(s) (hereafter referred to as “assessor”) may not be related to, subordinate to, or employed by the applicant during the assessment. Employment does not include compensation paid to the assessor by the applicant for assessment services.  \nNote: It is permissible for the assessor to be the same person who delivered the RBT 40-hour training.  \nTiming  \nThe Initial Competency Assessment must be completed after the 40-hour training is complete and cannot be completed more than 90 days before submitting an RBT certification application.  \nStructure  \nThe Initial Comptetency Assessment:  \n• May be conducted over one or more sessions.  \n• May be conducted in person, live via the internet, or through observations of recorded videos created specifically for the purpose of the assessment.  \nVersion 10/2019, Copyright © 2019, BACB® Behavior Analyst Certification Board | RBT Initial Competency Assessment Packet | 1  \nAdministration  \nThe assessor will provide an opportunity for the applicant to perform each task and evaluate whether the task was performed in a competent manner. Based on the instructions in each section of the assessment, one of three assessment types might be used to evaluate each task:  \n• With a client: the assessor observes the applicant performing the task with a client.  \n• Role-play: the assessor observes the applicant performing the task in a situation similar to what might occur with a client (i.e. , with another person acting in the role of the client) . This method may be used when circumstances do not permit conducting the evaluation with a client.  \n• Interview: the assessor must conduct a live interview (in person or via the Internet) during which the applicant must accurately describe or discuss the relevant concept and provide examples and nonexamples where applicable. Initial and follow-up interview questions may be tailored to the applicant’s current clientsand/or workplace parameters.  \nIf the applicant does not demonstrate competence in a task, the assessor may provide corrective feedback and assess the task with the applicant on another day. This process must be repeated until competence is demonstrated. Corrective feedback may not be delivered on the final assessment of a task.  \nDocumentation  \nAfter the assessor has observed a task being performed competently, the assessor will (a) initial the box next to the task and (b) if applicable, mark the assessment type used. After all of the tasks have been competently performed, the responsible assessor will sign and date the final attestation.  \nApplicants will be required to submit a completed Initial Competency Assessment with their","cbCaiikINDHNVOFV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiikINDHNVOFV","pdf",369978,"English","# Requirements Overview\n# Qualified Assessor(s)\n## Responsible assessor\n## Assistant assessor(s)\n# Timing and Structure\n## Timing\n## Structure\n# Administration\n## Assessment types\n## Corrective feedback and retesting\n# Documentation and Retention\n## Submission requirements\n## Record retention","[{\"question\":\"Who is allowed to serve as the responsible assessor for the RBT Initial Competency Assessment?\",\"answer\":\"The responsible assessor must be a BACB certificant (BCaBA, BCBA, or BCBA-D) who has completed the 8-hour supervision training and must oversee the assessment in accordance with the requirements.\"},{\"question\":\"When must the Initial Competency Assessment be completed relative to the 40-hour training and the certification application?\",\"answer\":\"The assessment must be completed after the 40-hour training is complete and cannot be completed more than 90 days before submitting the RBT certification application.\"},{\"question\":\"What assessment methods can the assessor use to evaluate each task?\",\"answer\":\"The assessor may use a client-based observation, role-play when client evaluation is not possible, or a live interview (in person or via the Internet) requiring discussion with examples and nonexamples where applicable.\"}]","RBT Initial Competency Assessment Packet - Requirements | PDF"]
