How might data be collected for this target response?	Create a morning checklist for staff that denotes if data materials are prepared prior to the day program starting. Use a digital data collection system that tracks the time in which data is collected, to ensure data is being collected in real time, and not at the end of the day/ not at all.
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.	Begin by creating independent and interdependent group contingencies for staff. Use preference/ reinforcer assessments to determine stimuli that will increase the target behavior (data collection). Implement group contingencies at the day program and ensure that reinforcers are available for those that meet the mastery criterion. For those that earn reinforcers for increasing data collection, begin with a dense schedule of reinforcement and thin to an intermittent schedule. For those that do not engage with the reinforcement system and/ or continue to not collect data despite the increased opportunities to earn salient reinforcers, create individual performance goals based on individual treatment fidelity checks. Create individualized behavior analytic goals based on treatment fidelity check data. If individual goals are not met and data collection does not increase, introduce punishment strategies for interfering maladaptive targets reducing engagement in data collection.
