General CEU: **Clinical Research: Overcoming Barriers and Finding Solutions to Enhance Clinical Practice

Clinical Research: Overcoming Barriers and Finding Solutions to Enhance Clinical Practice matters because it changes what a BCBA notices when decisions have to hold up in clinic sessions and day-to-day service delivery. In Clinical Research: Overcoming Barriers and Finding Solutions to Enhance Clinical Practice, for this course, the practical stakes show up in clearer roles, fewer duplicated efforts, and better coordinated intervention, not in abstract discussion alone.

Course Description

CASP's mission is to cultivate, share, and advocate for best practices in autism services. Engaging in applied research is imperative in developing effective interventions and promoting the best outcomes for our clients. Some CASP members have developed research divisions to assist with the analytics in their clinical practice and to conduct unique research protocols within their organizations. However, several barriers prevent clinics from establishing research divisions. Specifically, restricted access to Institutional Review Boards (IRB) to protect human subjects and limited access to library databases preventing access to peer-reviewed literature. In this panel, the presenters will discuss barriers related to both topics. The panelists will provide and solicit solutions that organizations have used to overcome the barriers for their organizations and recommendations to the field to provide the infrastructure to support research and analytics in practice for a variety of research questions. Please contact Paula Pompa-Craven at Paula.Pompa-Craven@essc.org should you have any APA questions or concerns!

  1. Dentify barriers that prevent research and analytics at clinics.
  2. Describe solutions to overcome barriers at the organizational level and propose additional solutions through professional collaborations.
