As the field of ABA continues to grow, there is an increasing demand for systematic approaches to monitor and evaluate client progress. This presentation will provide a brief overview of outcomes research in ABA, highlighting key findings to date and will suggest organizational and clinical considerations for monitoring client outcomes. From a clinical perspective, we will review common assessments (e.g., Vineland-3) and provide suggestions for how aspects of various assessments (e.g., growth scale values, standard scores) may be utilized to support outcome tracking in ways that contribute to meaningful clinical insights. From an organizational perspective, we will discuss considerations for systems and processes that can help ensure outcome data are used effectively and efficiently to monitor client progress and make data-driven decisions. We will also discuss how the effective development and monitoring of processes surrounding client outcomes align with various ethical considerations for behavior analysts.
