Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Operant conditioning involves giving positive reinforcement for a desired behavior. Presuming the
child likes candy, candy will reinforce speech. Option A describes an aversive therapy technique.
Option B describes modeling. Option D is an example of systematic desensitization.

Answer to Question 2

C
Limits must be set in areas in which the client's behavior affects the rights of others. Limiting verbal
abuse of another client is a priority intervention. The other concerns should be addressed during
therapeutic encounters.
