include staffing, training, supervision, goal selection, evaluation
of treatment effects, parent education, involvement of
siblings, and practical considerations. A variety of
resources will be shared such as guidelines for how to identify
quality service providers, information about ethical standards,
lists of resources, and examples of forms and charts (e.g., data
collection forms and scheduling sheets). This presentation will be
geared to both parents and providers.
