GHABA Proficiency II study plan

Define and contrast reinforcement, punishment, extinction, and stimulus control, writing one original applied example of each from your own caseload or a hypothetical client

Map the three-term contingency onto four published intervention descriptions you write yourself, labeling antecedent, behavior, and consequence for each

Distinguish positive/negative and unconditioned/conditioned reinforcers by sorting 20 self-generated scenario cards into the correct categories without notes

Draft a one-page terminology sheet linking each foundational principle to at least one intervention-planning decision it drives

Compare antecedent-based, consequence-based, and teaching-based intervention strategies and state the client conditions under which each is indicated

Sequence the steps of a behavior intervention plan from operational definition through generalization programming, listing the decision made at each step

Write operational definitions for three target behaviors that pass the dead-man's test and the observable-measurable test

Identify and correct five common BIP errors (vague targets, missing replacement behavior, no baseline link) in self-authored flawed examples

Describe indirect, descriptive, and functional analysis methods and state the confidence level each yields for a function-based hypothesis

Construct a functional analysis condition set (alone, attention, demand, play) and write the predicted response pattern for each maintaining variable

Derive a function-based hypothesis statement from a self-written ABC narrative dataset of at least 15 episodes

Match each hypothesized function to at least two function-based interventions and justify the pairing in writing

Select continuous versus discontinuous measurement for five self-written scenarios and defend each choice against reactivity and feasibility constraints

Compute interobserver agreement using total count, interval-by-interval, and trial-by-trial methods from self-generated raw data

Graph a baseline and intervention phase on a line graph with correct axis labeling, phase change lines, and condition labels

Interpret a self-constructed graph for level, trend, and variability, and state whether a functional relation is supported

Design a treatment-integrity checklist with at least eight observable component steps for a self-authored BIP

Plan a generalization and maintenance program specifying setting, stimulus, and response generalization targets plus a fading schedule

Write a crisis/risk response protocol for a self-selected high-risk topography, including prevention, de-escalation, and post-incident review steps

Revise an earlier BIP draft to add a data-based decision rule for continuing, modifying, or discontinuing the intervention

Apply the core ethical principles (beneficence, fidelity, integrity, and client dignity) to six self-written ethical dilemmas and justify each resolution

Outline the informed-consent process for assessment and intervention, listing the elements that must be disclosed and documented

Describe the supervisory relationship cycle from competency assessment through fading of supervision, naming the documentation produced at each stage

Draft a corrective feedback conversation script for a supervisee performance problem that separates behavior from person

Build a supervision contract template specifying goals, meeting cadence, evaluation criteria, and confidentiality limits

Design a caregiver/stakeholder training session outline for one BIP component, including a modeling, rehearsal, and feedback sequence

Identify the distinct roles of behavior analyst, teacher, speech-language pathologist, and caregiver in a self-written collaborative case and specify the communication channel for each

Write a consultation note that translates behavioral data into language usable by a non-behavioral team member

Synthesize all seven domains into a single integrated case study running from referral through assessment, intervention, data analysis, and discharge planning

Complete two timed full-length practice sets and log every missed item by domain and error type

Re-teach your three weakest subareas using self-generated explanations and worked examples rather than re-reading notes

Build a one-page pre-exam reference card of formulas, decision rules, and ethical checkpoints from memory, then verify it against your notes
