Abstract: Ongoing calls for action in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) related to compassionate, values-based care emphasize rapport building as an essential part of the behavior-analytic practice (Callahan, et al., 2019; Rajaraman, et al., 2020). While this is becoming more widely agreed upon in our field, it is not common practice to formally develop rapport building goals as part of a client’s programming. We extended Lugo at al. (2017) by developing a formal rapport building program to utilize across a large organization. The goals reflect 7 pre-session pairing skills, data collection, and teaching procedures Lugo and colleagues (2017) outlined as well as guidance as to the implementation of these items, not only before instruction in the form of pre-session pairing, but throughout session to ensure maintenance of rapport between the client and clinician throughout the therapeutic relationship. The panelists will discuss rapport building from three perspectives: mission-driven organizational behavior management (OBM), clinician training, and clinical applications. |
