What should you do if you arrive at a session but the client does not answer any attempts to contact them?

In the context of ABA therapy, when arriving for a session and being unable to contact the client, the most appropriate action is to reach out to another supervisor or the office. This choice is the most responsible because it ensures that proper protocol is followed regarding client attendance and safety.

Contacting a supervisor or the office allows for clarification of procedures concerning no-shows and enables the team to coordinate on how to handle the situation effectively. They might have additional insights or instructions based on the client’s history, or they could assist in reaching out to the client in a different manner.

Taking this approach also ensures that all measures are being taken to support the client and uphold the standards of care expected in ABA practices. It emphasizes the importance of communication and teamwork in ensuring the client’s needs are addressed appropriately.
