The BHT provides direct assistance to the Client in learning, using, and practicing the skills that are being developed. The BHT can work with the Client in the home, community, and school so that standardization of treatment occurs in all settings. The BHT works intensively to implement interventions that are defined in the Treatment Plan, allows the Client opportunities to practice these skills, and ensures that caregivers can provide the same intervention. The BHT maintains frequent contact with the lead clinician to quickly determine treatment revisions that may need to occur, relay the success of each intervention, progress made, and conscientiously collects data for team analysis.
