ABA Competency Prep Visual Study Guide

**11 Visual Infographics • BT/RBT Training Support • Competency Review • Printable Digital Download**

Help new behavior technicians understand common ABA concepts in a way that is **visual, practical, and easier to remember**.

The **RBT Competency Prep Visual Training Pack** is a collection of 11 illustrated infographics designed to support review of common behavior-analytic concepts before a live competency assessment with a qualified assessor.

Rather than relying only on textbook definitions, these visuals use examples, comparisons, diagrams, and step-by-step breakdowns to make foundational concepts easier to understand and discuss during training.

What’s Included
Your download includes visual training infographics covering:
* Frequency vs. Rate
* Interval Recording
* ABC Data
* Preference Assessments
* Discrimination vs. DTT
* Prompting
* Stimulus Transfer Control
* Chaining
* Shaping
* Differential Reinforcement
* Extinction

The pack is organized into sections for:
**Measurement & Data Collection**
**Assessment & Skill Acquisition**
**Behavior Change Procedures**

Why Use Visual Training Supports?
Many new BTs and RBT candidates understand concepts better when they can **see how the procedure works**, rather than only memorizing terminology.

These infographics are designed to help learners:
* Compare similar concepts side by side
* Connect definitions to real examples
* Review procedures before supervision or competency practice
* Explain concepts more confidently
* Use visuals during onboarding and staff training
* Refresh skills after initial training

For example, the measurement visuals demonstrate how the same observation can be represented differently depending on whether the learner is calculating frequency, rate, whole-interval recording, or partial-interval recording.

The teaching visuals break down concepts such as prompting, chaining, shaping, DTT, and discrimination training using concrete examples and visual sequences.
The behavior-change visuals provide side-by-side comparisons of procedures such as differential reinforcement and extinction to help learners distinguish between commonly confused concepts.

Great For

* New Behavior Technicians

For Trainers and Supervisors
These visuals can be used as a starting point for discussion during training.

For example, a supervisor may:
* Review the infographic with the technician
* Ask the technician to explain the concept in their own words
* Present a new example and ask the technician to identify the procedure
* Practice calculating measurement examples
* Role-play implementation
* Compare the visual to the learner’s actual treatment plan or data system

The goal is to support **understanding and application**, not simple memorization.
