Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) Practice Exam

After a child answers incorrectly, the next step should be to re-present the SD with a more appropriate prompt. This is because ignoring the incorrect response may reinforce the incorrect behavior and not providing a prompt may not give the child another opportunity to answer correctly. Ending the session immediately is not always necessary and may discourage the child from participating in future sessions. Providing the answer without a prompt does not allow for learning and does not teach the child to answer independently. Therefore, option A is the most appropriate next step after a child answers incorrectly in order to support their learning and understanding of the material.
