Course overview

Session notes get written in the last four minutes of a session, in a parking lot, on a phone. This professional development event accepts that reality and gives you a structure that still produces a defensible, useful note.

You will practice describing behavior objectively, recording what actually happened with the program, and flagging the things your BCBA needs to know before the next session. You will also learn to say it in fewer words.

Learning objectives

After completing this event, participants will be able to:

  • Write objective, observable descriptions of client behavior without interpretation or diagnosis.
  • Document program implementation, including deviations, in a way a supervisor can act on.
  • Identify information that does not belong in a session note.
  • Complete an accurate session note in under five minutes using a repeatable structure.

Intended audience

  • Registered Behavior Technicians documenting daily sessions
  • New RBTs building a documentation routine
  • RBTs whose notes have been flagged in supervision or funder review

This is an RBT professional development event. BCBAs and BCaBAs cannot earn Learning CEUs from it.

  • Active RBT certification or current RBT coursework
  • A device with audio and a stable internet connection
