How the lesson starts
What can your learner already do, and which skills are still missing? A skill assessment looks at both: skill strengths and deficits.
They come in types: curriculum-based, developmental, or social skills. A developmental one compares skills with milestones most children reach by a certain age.
The VB-MAPP milestones assessment identifies a learner's current skill level. Its results can help identify instructional goals: what to teach.
Your supervisor asks you to help with a skill assessment. As a Registered Behavior Technician, or RBT, you assist. Your supervisor determines your activities.

A question from this lesson
Your supervisor assigns you data collection during a skill assessment. What should you do?
- Replace the assessment with teaching
- Collect the assigned assessment data
- Decline because RBTs cannot assist
Show the answer
B. Collect the assigned assessment data. Collect the assigned assessment data. RBTs may assist through data collection. Replacing the assessment changes the supervisor's assignment. Declining assumes RBTs cannot assist, but assisting is part of the role.
