| 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. |
|---|---|
| observe and collect data on a daily basis to set a baseline of how often staff is collecting data | |
| employee performance reviews/checklists with feedback | Provide 1:1 modeling and shadowing using BST |
| Anecdotal data and frequency data to see who is taking data, and take partial interval data on client-staff interactions. | The goal is to increase staff to client interactions and fidelity of implementing interventions and data collection. These topics can be reviewed in a team meeting, modeled, rehearsed for examples of desired responses, and then feedback delivered during data probes. |
| number of days/shifts that data are collected | -provide checklist at end of shift for workers to review |
| self monitoring, email reminder to team | incentive or gameify for collecting data |
| Checklists that staff must fill out | A meeting with enitre staff to review data collection requirements |
| Data can be collected by directly observing whether staff are recording data as required during client sessions. The behavior analyst can create a checklist or tally sheet to record each scheduled data collection opportunity and whether data were actually collected. These observations can occur at various times of day to capture consistency across staff and settings. In addition, reviewing the data sheets or binders at the end of the day can provide a secondary measure, comparing the number of completed data entries to the number of expected entries. Collecting both direct observation and document review data will provide a clearer picture of how often staff are following through with data collection procedures. | The first and least restrictive intervention would be to provide staff with frequent positive feedback and recognition when data are collected correctly. This reinforcement-based approach increases motivation without adding extra demands. Next, the behavior analyst could create job aids, such as visual reminders or simplified data collection sheets, to make data collection easier and less effortful for staff. If these steps do not lead to improvement, staff could receive a brief booster training on the importance of data collection and its role in client outcomes, paired with modeling and practice opportunities to build fluency. The next level would involve setting clear expectations and accountability systems, such as having a supervisor review binders daily and provide feedback on whether data were completed. Finally, if these interventions are unsuccessful, more restrictive measures could be added, such as formal performance monitoring with documented consequences for failing to meet expectations. By introducing these interventions systematically—starting with reinforcement and job aids, then moving toward training, accountability systems, and finally performance management—the team ensures that the least restrictive, most positive approaches are tried before implementing more controlling measures. |

| When the behavior analyst is not present ask the staff to self-monitor the therapist and collect data about her performance.Also a video recording could be implemented. | Modeling the intervention and data collection provides feedback |

| Self monitoring through checklist of tasks to be completed before the end of the shift | Reduce task effort and adverse task properties, increase supervisor presence, performance feedback |
