| 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. |

| The BCBA could check data being done after each session. | The BCBA could check data is done after each session and staff are incentivized for completing data. Also the BCBA should look at reducing the response effort for the data if the data is too cumbersome for the staff. |
At least one field must be filled out | |
| Self monitored checklists | Self monitoring forms |
| always | reinforce with praise the person that collect data |
| direct observation using a task analysis checklist, frequency counts of target behaviors, and staff self-report forms completed daily to monitor consistency and barriers. | Interventions may include clarifying task expectations with visual aids, increasing feedback from supervisors, providing booster training sessions for specific skill gaps, and implementing a reinforcement system |
| Duration | The behavior analyst completed the PDC-HS and the outcome indicates the performance consequences, effort, and competition domain for intervention. |
| Observe morning routines when setting up for clients | Development of procedure |
| direct observation, performance report, permanent product analysis | positive reinforcement, timely feedback but then move toward structured approaches like token economies, behavior contracts, performance based pay systems |
| Include a treatment session checklist in every client binder that lays out in order what the staff should be doing for every session. They should check off each step that gets completed and initial or sign at the end of their session. This would be a self-monitoring/self-management protocol. | Staff incentive systems for completion of checklists |
| Self-Monitoring, Observations | Model data collection procedures |
| To assess and monitor this issue, data collection should focus on staff behavior related to data collection: a. Data Collection Fidelity Checklist Track whether data sheets are filled out at scheduled times (e.g., hourly, per activity). Include items such as: Was data taken? (Yes/No) Was data placed in the correct binder? Was it complete and legible? Timestamp and initials of the staff member b. Binder Checks Use a daily or weekly audit log to check if binders were accessed. Are they moved from shelves? Are data sheets completed for the appropriate consumers and days? Was protocol followed? c. Direct Observation or Spot Checks Conduct random or scheduled observations to record whether staff are: Carrying clipboards or binders Taking data in real-time or post-session Engaged in competing behaviors (e.g., chatting, phones) d. Self-Reporting or Daily Logs Ask staff to log when and how they collected data each day. This can also help identify effort-related barriers or time constraints | 1. Make Data Collection Easier (Reduce Effort) Simplify data collection systems (e.g., use checklists instead of narrative forms). Provide frequent, informal positive feedback when data collection is observed. Place signs or reminders in the staff area (e.g., “Did you take data today?”). Create team-based incentives (e.g., group pizza day or coffee gift card if data collection hits 90% across a week). Meet individually with staff not collecting data to provide feedback based on observations. Implement supervisory checklists with staff initials and fidelity tracking. Introduce progressive disciplinary procedures only if necessary (e.g., after support and feedback fail). |

| data collection percentage by staff | self-monitoring, prompting staff, group feedback;individual feedback |
| To gather data on performance consequences, effort, and competition, used quantitative data collection and qualitative data like interviews and observations. | Utilize simple, easy-to-understand language and visuals in promotional materials. Employ diverse distribution channels (e.g., social media, community events, partnerships) to reach a wider audience. |

| self monitoring of own behavior and behaviors of staff. summaries of observations done by behavior analyst | work to identify ways to collect data that require the least amount of response effort from staff that are still socially valid. |
| Observations by BA and supervisor using checklists, video monitoring (if appropriate) | Staff Retraining |
| Performance review from data and interview | Verbal feedback |
