The multiple-opportunity method of assessment allows the individual to perform the behavior chain multiple times before initiating training sessions.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only after training
• D. It cannot be used

Answer: (A)

Multiple-opportunity assessment is about letting the learner try a behavior chain many times before any formal training starts, so you can see what they can do independently and where instruction is needed. By providing repeated chances to perform the chain, you establish a baseline of performance and identify which steps, if any, require prompts or teaching. If the learner can complete the chain reliably across opportunities, training may be unnecessary; if not, you tailor instruction to the weak links. Therefore, the statement is correct because the method explicitly uses multiple opportunities prior to initiating training.
