In ABA Service Delivery Quality: A Novel Application of a Quality Framework, for this course, the practical stakes show up in better performance, lower drift, and more sustainable team development, not in abstract discussion alone.

Organizations often boast claims that they provide high-quality services without substantiating data, jeopardizing the wellbeing of consumers, employees, and the field at large. In Silbaugh & El Fattal's 2021 article 'Exploring Quality in the ABA Service Delivery Industry', the authors explore a framework for developing clearly defined quality metrics and behavioral systems for ongoing evaluation. This session discusses the implementation of that framework with an organization of 15 clinics, roughly 300 clients, and 50 behavior analysts. Example quality standards, potential limitations or barriers, future directions, and supporting quality dependent data will be provided.
