Assent-based intervention represents a paradigm shift in how behavior analysts approach the delivery of services to individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities. Rather than viewing treatment as something done to clients, assent-based frameworks position treatment as a collaborative process in which the client's ongoing agreement to participate shapes the course of intervention.

As we refine our evidence-based teaching procedures to proactively notice, measure, and systematically shape indicators of assent and assent withdrawal (Rajaraman, Gover, Cammilleri, Donnely & Hanley, 2022, Kasper 2022), honor withdrawal of assent and remove demands whenever feasible (Slaton, Hanley & Raftery, 2017; Breaux & Smith, 2023) and simultaneously analyze the variables that influence withdrawal of assent (Carbone et. al. 2010), we are tasked with new operational definitions, measurement systems, and staff training challenges. Learn from our experience crafting policies, standards, procedures, and trainings, including a step-wise implementation protocol as we work together to identify and measure key performance indicators of successful intervention. Successes and challenges in our ongoing quest to provide compassionate, person-centered care will be highlighted. Learning Objectives Attendees will identify the definition of assent according to the Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts. Attendees will identify indicating responses for likes and dislikes based on video. Attendees will identify potential methods for measuring assent
