| How might data be collected for this target response? | Data Collection for the Target Response Target Response: Residential counselors implement specified antecedent strategies correctly and consistently during shifts. Recommended Data Collection Methods: Direct Observation with Fidelity Checklists Supervisors or behavior analysts use a task-specific checklist to record whether each step of the antecedent intervention is performed. Include binary scoring (Yes/No) or partial credit if steps are only partially completed. Permanent Product Review Review behavior support plans or logs completed by staff that indicate which antecedent interventions were used. Self-Monitoring Staff document which strategies they used during shifts. These can later be compared against observation data for accuracy. Staff Interview or Survey Periodically assess staff understanding of the procedures and perceived barriers. |

| Identify an intervention, or set of interventions, based on the PDC-HS data. | Intervention Plan Based on PDC-HS (Task Clarification & Prompting Domain) Provide simple, visual job aids (e.g., laminated cards or posters) detailing each antecedent intervention. Ensure materials are accessible and located near where tasks are performed. Checklist and Cue Systems Introduce pre-shift checklists or posted cues (e.g., reminder boards) to guide task initiation and completion. Pair visual cues with shift-specific responsibilities. Modeling and Demonstration Supervisors or experienced staff model correct implementation during routine activities. Use “see one, do one” coaching during slower shifts. Prompting Routines Set digital or verbal prompts throughout the day (alarms, radio calls, shift-change reminders) to cue intervention use. Encourage team prompting (staff remind each other). Immediate Performance Feedback Provide real-time, supportive feedback when interventions are used correctly. Praise or correct discreetly in the moment. Booster Trainings Offer short, focused re-trainings during team meetings that revisit the rationale and procedures for antecedent strategies. |
