Important Changes in the RBT Task List

The BACB has refined the RBT Task List across several domains: • Measurement — "Describe behavior and environment in observable and measurable terms" was moved from the Assessment section to the Measurement section. • Skill Acquisition — "Implement stimulus fading procedures" was removed, and "Implement token economy procedures" was added. The item on using contingencies of reinforcement (conditioned/unconditioned, continuous/intermittent schedules) was retained. • Documentation and Reporting — "Effectively communicate with supervisor" was updated to "Effectively communicate with a supervisor in an ongoing manner," emphasizing continuous, concise communication. • Professional Conduct and Scope of Practice — Item F-01 was updated to add "Describe the BACB's RBT supervision requirements."
