About the RBT Skill Acquisition Domain
Skill acquisition is a core area of an RBT's daily work. It involves teaching new behaviors and skills using evidence-based techniques from Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).
Discrete Trial Training (DTT)
DTT is a structured teaching method involving an antecedent (instruction), a behavior (response), and a consequence (reinforcement or correction). Trials are short, discrete, and repeated to build skills.
Prompting and Prompt Fading
Prompts help learners make correct responses. Prompt types include physical, gestural, model, and verbal. Prompt fading involves gradually reducing the intrusiveness of prompts to build independence.
Chaining and Shaping
Chaining teaches complex, multi-step behaviors by linking individual steps. Shaping reinforces successive approximations towards a target behavior.
