Abstract:

In the context of medically necessary treatment for Autism Spectrum Disorders, the intensity of service delivery translates to a clinical prescription. The panelists will present a case for level of care recommendations that meet rigorous expectations for effective and efficient progress and that align with best practice literature and the Behavior Analyst Certification Board’s Professional and Ethical Compliance Code. The panel will identify common barriers to best practice in prescription intensity and prescription fulfillment (i.e. full utilization of treatment hours prescribed). Barriers will be categorized as impacted by caregiver availability/adherence or behavior analyst’s competency; the panel will explore successful interventions implemented by supervising clinicians and organizational leaders to improve prescription fulfillment and to align treatment recommendations. At the conclusion of the presentation, participants will be able to: create alignment between ethical values and prescription practices, analyze organizational data to identify relevant barriers, and describe 6 barrier-specific interventions that can be implemented immediately to improve prescription adherence.
