| How might data be collected for this target response? | 1. Fidelity Checklists: Use a checklist during observations to assess whether antecedent interventions (e.g., offering choices, modifying environments, providing visual schedules) are: Clearly documented in protocols Available and accessible Implemented as written during key situations 2. Direct Observation: Conduct scheduled or unannounced observations and record: Whether antecedent strategies are used proactively Whether the correct strategy is matched to each consumer’s protocol 3. Staff Prompt Logs: Track how often staff need to be reminded to implement an antecedent strategy. Document the prompt type (e.g., verbal, visual) and outcome (followed vs. ignored). 4. Incident Correlation: Compare incidents of consumer distress or challenging behavior to days/times when antecedent strategies were not implemented, to show impact. |
|---|---|
| Identify an intervention, or set of interventions, based on the PDC-HS data. | 1. Clarify Expectations Ensure each consumer’s plan clearly specifies which antecedent strategies should be used and when. 2. Create Visual Prompts Implement color-coded systems to help staff quickly recognize which strategy is linked to which consumer. 3. Conduct Brief On-the-Spot Trainings Practice short scenarios in staff meetings to boost fluency. 4. Integrate Antecedent Steps into Daily Routines Assign responsibilities to ensure coverage of all key proactive supports. 5. Add Prompting Systems Set digital calendar alerts or phone reminders tied to routine transitions. 6. Formal Performance Monitoring Provide individual feedback, retraining, or corrective action if necessary. |
