Behavior Reduction involves decreasing challenging or harmful behaviors while teaching appropriate alternatives. RBTs work under the guidance of behavior analysts to implement behavior intervention plans (BIPs) designed to reduce behaviors that interfere with learning or social functioning. These may include aggression, self-injury, or noncompliance. Techniques often involve identifying the function of the behavior, using reinforcement strategies, and teaching replacement behaviors. Consistent data collection and fidelity to the intervention are crucial for effectiveness. RBTs must remain professional, calm, and ethical when managing difficult behaviors.
