[U4Q] The BCBA designs a treatment plan for his client Lexi including 1) a non-verbal blocking procedure for “slapping others” where adult attention has been identified as the maintaining variable, 2) a DRO procedure for the absence of “slapping others,” 3) a training in appropriate self-initiated recreational activities, and 4) a “mand-for-adult attention” training protocol.

[U4Q] Alicia, a BCBA, provides consulting services for a musician to help him improve his chord accuracy when playing the guitar.
