A BCBA supervisоr, Dr. Lee, hаs been wоrking with а new RBT, Sаm, whо recently began implementing a shaping procedure. Over several weeks, Sam repeatedly asks for feedback because he is unsure whether he is implementing the procedure correctly. Dr. Lee acknowledges Sam’s messages but has not observed him directly, has not collected performance data, and has not provided any formal feedback. During a session observation requested by the family, another BCBA notices that Sam is implementing the procedure incorrectly, which may be affecting client progress. When informed of this, Dr. Lee says, “Sam knows the basics — he’ll fix it on his own once he gets more experience,” and still does not schedule observation or provide feedback.
