What is one task that an RBT is prohibited from performing?

An RBT, or Registered Behavior Technician, is prohibited from taking unassigned tasks because their role is specifically defined within the context of treatment implementation, following the guidelines set by the supervising behavior analyst. The responsibilities of an RBT are clearly delineated, and engaging in tasks outside of their assigned duties could lead to ethical concerns, lack of accountability, and potential harm to clients.

By adhering strictly to assigned tasks, RBTs ensure they are working within their scope of practice, providing effective, evidence-based interventions and maintaining the quality and safety of behavioral health services. In contrast, the other options involve tasks that are either part of the RBT’s responsibilities under appropriate supervision or guided by a behavior analyst, which are acceptable practices within the role.
