| How might data be collected for this target response? | Identify an intervention, or set of interventions, based on the PDC-HS data. |
|---|---|
| checklist | prompts |
| count how many times antecedent interventions were implemented during target hour | provide a check list of antecedent interventions and make it easily available |
| observation and checklist | prompting - review, checklists - provide clarification of the task and give feedback |
| A-B-C data | Task clarification such as a check list and /or graphic feedback |
| fidelity check of implementation of antecedent strategies for staff members of concern | |
| Observation | Use a TA to clarify task and prompting to run through BST to reteach behaviors |
| To monitor implementation of antecedent strategies: Treatment Integrity Checklists: Create a brief checklist listing the key antecedent steps (e.g., offering a break, pre-correcting before transitions). Supervisors or the behavior analyst can score during observations. Self-Monitoring Logs: Staff can complete a quick daily form indicating which interventions they implemented. Direct Observations: Schedule intermittent fidelity checks by supervisors or peers to record whether antecedent interventions were used correctly and consistently. | Interventions should focus on clarifying expectations and supporting staff with consistent cues. Recommended strategies: Clear Task Descriptions Post laminated step-by-step guides for antecedent strategies in common areas. Include visual aids or color-coded reminders (e.g., prompt cards, flowcharts). Environmental Prompts Use timers, sticky notes, or whiteboard checklists to remind staff of key interventions throughout shifts. Behavioral Skills Training (BST) Re-train staff using modeling, role-play, feedback, and rehearsal focused only on the antecedent procedures. Daily Shift Huddles with Prompting Briefly review the day’s targeted interventions and consumers’ needs at the beginning of each shift. Ongoing Performance Feedback After observations, provide immediate feedback, highlighting strengths and missed steps related to antecedent use. |
| The behavior analyst uses direct observation with a checklist to record whether each antecedent intervention step is implemented correctly and consistently across shifts. | The behavior analyst clarifies expectations by providing written procedures, visual prompts, and in-the-moment reminders, and reviews the steps with staff to ensure understanding and consistency. |
| Fidelity data | Task analysis check list |
| Self observation and direct observation. | |
| The therapists can self observe when and how the antecedent | |
| Keeping tabs on the number of times antecedent interventions are implemented. | Keeping tabs through a checklist requiring initials and time for each time antecedent interventions are used. Providing a suggested number of times that the interventions should be used. |
| Visual aids, prompts; reminders | review/agreement of expectations, checklist |
| checklist for task completion | Reassess and train staff |
| Data collection could be measured by tracking the percentage of sessions in which staff completed required data sheets. | Reduce response effort by simplifying data collection forms. |
| training | checklist |
| data must be taken to ensure procedural fidelity | BST |
| Direct observation using a procedural fidelity checklist, Partial-interval or momentary time sampling, Permanent product review | Clarify Expectations |
| create a checklist of interventions | create checklists, |
| ask supervisor to collet ABC data to meaasure if/when/how often antecedent intervntions are conducted; conduct observations | conduct observations to provide in vivo feedback; continue with ABC data collection; provide clearly outlien expectations and visual cues/prompts to staff throughout the environment |
| Staff survey on intervention understanding; daily observation indicating whether or not intervention being applied | Survey staff to ensure understanding |
| The incidents occurring as a result of inconsistent antecedent intervention could be measured. A fidelity checklist could also be used to measure which interventions are implemented. | A fidelity checklist of the antecedent interventions could be developed and used with staff. Staff could use this checklist to self-monitor. Visual prompts could be placed in the environment as reminders for staff to use the antecedent interventions consistently. |
| procedural checklist | video modeling, modeling, review resources, prompting |
| Direct observation | Check-list, supervision, feed-back |
