Course Description

Measurement has long been a key feature of effective ABA. As we move into assent-based approaches, our systems of measurement must evolve to accommodate the new challenges and deep nuances of assent-based practice. This session offers an in-depth exploration of adapting measurement strategies to meet the unique needs of each client, ensuring effective outcomes in therapy. Whether you run naturalistic sessions or implement trial-based instruction, we'll find ways to measure client happiness, engagement, and progress within and across sessions. Create a comprehensive measurement package to fit within your existing workflow that supports smooth progress, swift decision-making, and a focus on what matters in this new way of practicing. Follow along with examples across varied client profiles, therapeutic approaches, and graphical displays, with guidance from a clinician with deep experience adapting measurement systems in many settings with both simple and sophisticated tools. Walk away from this session with brainstormed plans for implementation of each of the key measures for effective Assent-Based ABA.

What You'll Learn

  1. Generate ideas for measuring client assent and assent withdrawal for individual programs and across a therapeutic/instructional session.
  2. Determine which measures can and should be graphically displayed.
  3. Establish how data will be used to inform clinical decisions and meet requirements for reporting to stakeholders.
