CEU: ABA in Schools - Part 5: Treatment Integrity

BCBA CEUs: 2 BACB General

QBA, QASP-S CEUs: 2 General

IBAO CEUs: 2- General

APA/CESA: 2 General (Home Study)

One of the biggest challenges that behavior analysts in schools must address is having classroom staff implement an intervention with sufficient integrity to make a positive difference in student outcomes.  In this session, participants will learn the various dimensions of treatment integrity and a pragmatic approach to making decisions about continuing or changing interventions because of a lack of effectiveness.  Finally, once an intervention is in place, it is necessary to measure the impact the intervention has on the behavior of interest.  The challenge for behavior analysts in schools is finding measures that are both sensitive to change and can be recorded by existing classroom staff.  If both of the conditions cannot be met then other measurement options must be considered.  Some of those options will be discussed in this module.

In this 2-hour webinar hosted on Wednesday, August 12th, 2020, we explored common behavioral strategies and procedures and how to effectively implement such procedures to increase collaboration and carry-through within the school setting. During this recorded webinar, case scenario(s) and examples were provided for the full illustration of the topics discussed. Participants were encouraged to submit questions and received real-time answers from experts.

Presenter: Ronnie Detrich, PhD
