| Description: Monitoring and evaluating treatment integrity is an important clinical practice for behavior analysts who rely on others to deliver their recommended treatments. Practitioners seeking information about treatment integrity in applied settings will find research focused on the negative effects of treatment integrity errors, the types of treatment integrity errors, strategies to prevent and address treatment integrity errors, and many other practical considerations for practitioners. However, limited practical guidance is available to help practitioners create and utilize treatment integrity systems with their individual clients. This workshop will guide the participants through the critical components of establishing and utilizing treatment integrity systems in their clinical practice. At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to: (1) describe the importance of treatment integrity in applied settings; (2) identify risk factors related to reduced treatment integrity in applied settings; (3) create task analyses for their clients’ treatments, (4) identify priorities for treatment integrity data collection; (5) create data collection systems for treatment integrity; (6) select appropriate observation periods for treatment integrity monitoring; (7) effectively utilize treatment integrity monitoring systems; (8) analyze treatment integrity data; (9) select interventions to address treatment integrity concerns. |
