| How might data be collected for this target response? | Identify several interventions that might help improve response rates. Place them in order with the least-restrictive at the top so that the interventions may be introduced systematically, adding more restrictive / less favorable interventions after the outcomes of less restrictive options have been measured. |
|---|---|
| supervisor monitoring of target behaviours | praise for absence of staff conversations Corrective feedback in vivo |
| NO | NO |
| Yes | Yes |
| Monitoring data collection for one week and staff interview on what is working and why they feel data collection may not be working. | Reduce task effort by redesigning data collection system. Provide training with modeling and then implement a reinforcement and consequence system. |
| Data could be collected trough direct observations or video recording. | I think one of the least restrictive interventions to start with could be a team meeting out lining expectations of professionalism. Reminders could be posted around the center where the staff frequent. Next could be having other staff monitor each other and catch other staff being good and some sort of public reward system. The most intrusive would be directly observing and giving feedback based on a task list. |
| Self checklist | Data on phone and can;t clock out until submitted |
| Self monitoring, observation | |
| Checking the binders and interviews with staff on how often they submit data | Self management: having the employees self report when they have submitted data, possibly with a reminder at the beginning of their shift to record and submit data. Public graphing: showing graphs of who’s often each person submitted data and displaying it by the time clock Overt observation and reminders: constantly checking in and reminding/telling employees who are not recording data that they need to get their clients binder and begin recording data. |
| Collect IOA data. | 1. Remind staff of importance of data collection |
| review data simplify it | team meeting |
| staff performance checklists | Self monitoring daily checklists |
| Self assessment | Modeling |
| evaluations and feedback | BST |
| Data could be tracked by checking whether staff are consistently filling out client data sheets during sessions and reviewing completed binders at the end of the day for accuracy and completeness. | The behavior analyst could start by reviewing expectations and making data collection easier for staff, then add reminders, feedback, and reinforcement, followed by closer supervision and accountability procedures if the problem continues. |
| Frequency of completed data sheets Number of completed data sheets per shift/session Percentage of opportunities with data collected | Interventions in Order from Least Restrictive to More Restrictive The interventions should begin with supportive, low-intrusion strategies and systematically progress only if needed. 1. Clarify Expectations and Goals (Least Restrictive) Purpose: Ensures staff understand performance expectations. 2. Reduce Response Effort Purpose: Makes the desired behavior easier and more efficient. 3. Visual Prompts and Environmental Supports Purpose: Increases salience of the target behavior. 4. Performance Feedback Purpose: Adds immediate consequences for appropriate performance. 5. Positive Reinforcement Systems Purpose: Increases reinforcement for professional behavior and data collection. 6. Increase Supervision and Accountability Purpose: Increases monitoring and accountability for performance. 7. Goal Setting and Performance Contracts Purpose: Formalizes expectations and performance standards. 8. Corrective Feedback / Formal Coaching Purpose: Addresses persistent performance deficits after supportive strategies fail. 9. Administrative or Disciplinary Consequences (Most Restrictive) Purpose: Used only after less restrictive interventions have been attempted and documented. |
| Take data on utilization of protocols and data binders | Explaining expectations |
| Direct observation, video analysis | Implement reinforcement procedures |
| Observation but also permanent product of data | Visual reminders |
| List of behaviors that are targeted for behavior collection, observation if staff are taking data on these targeted behaviors | Self monitoring, meeting wit staff to identify obstacles, incentive system for compliance wit data collection |
| Procedural checklist. Percentage of completed staff assignments | Provide more incentive for staff to complete tasks |
| Data can be collected by the home manager | Replacing the staff can be an option or provide an in-house training for the current staff |
| Permanent product | Changing environment: Move data binders from the shelf to wearable clipboards or point-of-use stations, making data collection easier than engaging in non-work conversations. Positive reinforcement: Provide immediate supervisor praise and publicly post a daily team chart graphing data completion percentages to tap into positive peer competition. Corrective Feedback: Implement mandatory end-of-shift binder audits with the supervisor, moving to formal performance improvement plans (PIPs) for continued non-compliance. |
| Review the binders to check for permanent product | Checklist for each staff to ensure they know their expectations for their sessions. |
| Data could be collected by tracking how often staff complete required data sheets and use protocol binders during shifts. | Interventions may begin with reviewing expectations, providing reminders, and simplifying data collection procedures. If needed, additional strategies could include feedback, reinforcement for completion, increased supervision, and eventually formal corrective action procedures. |
| easier and more doable data collection such as using clicker or just a checkmark which is simple and easy for staff to do with the least response effort. | considering more reinforcement for staff who collect data. More training on data collection procedure and importance of collecting data. |
| How might data be collected for this target response? | Identify several interventions that might help improve response rates. Place them in order with the least-restrictive at the top so that the interventions may be introduced systematically, adding more restrictive / less favorable interventions after the outcomes of less restrictive options have been measured. |
