Credentials and scope
Describe the role accurately
An RBT drafts a profile saying, “I independently diagnose behavior problems and design treatment.” Their actual role is implementing supervisor-designed behavior-analytic services as an RBT.
Relevant facts
- The draft claims responsibilities beyond the actual role.
- The credential describes a supervised behavior-technician role.
Revise the profile to describe the real supervised role.
“Registered Behavior Technician providing services under qualified supervision.”
Describe your own credential, role and supervision accurately so readers understand the service you provide.
A plausible claim that overreaches
From one setting to every setting
An organization-approved public summary uses nonidentifying aggregate information: a group’s independent requests increased during observed clinic sessions. An RBT drafts, “Participants became more independent at home and in the community.” Neither home nor community performance was measured.
Relevant facts
- The clinic result is supported by the described records.
- The draft extends it to settings not observed.
Limit the statement to the measured clinic outcome.
