Presentation Title
Evidence-based Practice in ABA: Detecting and troubleshooting Treatment Failures
Abstract
Evidence-based practice (EBP) is a multi-component process in which practitioners select, refine and deliver clinical services based on a) the best available scientific evidence, b) unique client and contextual features, c) training and competence of the practitioner, d) ongoing clinical progress monitoring and decision making and e) early detection and trouble-shooting of treatment “failures.”
In addition to providing an overview of EBP principles as applied to ABA practice, this presentation will provide guidance on how to define and detect treatment failures. It will also provide a recommended checklist for ABA practitioners to trouble shoot treatment failures.
