Under Emergency Behavior Intervention, when EBI is allowed, which statement is true?

• A. The training can be 8 hours or 16 hours depending on the disorder, and one foster parent must complete at least half before placement.
• B. All hours must be completed before placement.
• C. No hours are required before placement.
• D. Only the second foster parent needs training before placement.

Answer: (D)

When Emergency Behavior Intervention is used, the focus is on allowing a safe, timely placement while still having a trained caregiver ready to implement the plan from the start. In this scenario, only one trained caregiver needs to be prepared before placement—the second foster parent—so that there is someone who can immediately carry out the EBI techniques. The first caregiver can complete the training after placement if needed. This is why this statement is true. The other options imply that all required hours must be finished before placement, or that no hours are required, or that hours depend on the disorder. Those don’t match how EBI pre-placement training is structured, which emphasizes having at least one trained caregiver ready at the moment of placement.
