Prompt

You assess a school-age child referred for ‘aggression and meltdowns.’ The examiner will test operational definition, ABC method, functions, medical screen, PBS/FCT and medication thresholds.

Stem

The examiner starts with definitions, then adds multi-setting data, a medical red flag, school refusal functions, and a medication request. [1] [2]
