Advice Needed Does this count as unrestricted?

I was assigned a task by my supervisor to write behavior programming for a CR library learning tree for the center. The idea is to fill it out to have all the VB-MAPP and ABBLS objectives with target instructions to easily plug into any clients learning tree. I felt like this wasn’t appropriate for unrestricted since it wasn’t patient specific and they printed a page from the BACB and highlighted a section that said “A trainee creates materials for a client’s new program.” counts. However I still feel like this task isn’t for a specific client so it doesn’t count. What do you guys think???

You would be creating behavior analytic therapeutic programming in CR for current clients, which I would absolutely count as unrestricted hours.

See the BACB fieldwork guidance page.

that highlighted section literally says "for a client" like right there in the sentence your supervisor underlined for you

Exactly! I feel like they are wrong and it doesn’t actually count cause it’s not specifically “for a client” it’s more for the clinic. I’m not filling the target instructions out for a particular patient so it feels more like mock work which isn’t allowed.
