A BCBA supervisor, Dr. Lee, has been working with a new RBT, Sam, who recently began implementing a shaping procedure. Over several weeks, Sam repeatedly asks for feedback because he is unsure whether he is implementing the procedure correctly. Dr. Lee acknowledges Sam’s messages but has not observed him directly, has not collected performance data, and has not provided any formal feedback. During a session observation requested by the family, another BCBA notices that Sam is implementing the procedure incorrectly, which may be affecting client progress.
