The Gorilla Suit Principle
Instructional Control for RBTs
Published July 2026
THE QUICK RUNDOWN
Instructional control is not about being louder, stricter, or turning every session into a power struggle. The Gorilla Suit Principle helps RBTs build a therapeutic presence clients can trust through thoughtful preparation, genuine pairing, consistent follow-through, and cooperation that is reinforced—not forced.
YOU’LL LEARN TO
- Build cooperation through pairing, predictability, and reinforcement
- Follow through confidently without creating unnecessary power struggles
Best for: RBTs and behavior technicians strengthening practical field skills.
