Troubleshooting Complexities While Conducting Behavioral Assessments in Applied Settings is the kind of topic that looks straightforward until it collides with the speed, ambiguity, and competing demands of clinic sessions and day-to-day service delivery. In Troubleshooting Complexities While Conducting Behavioral Assessments in Applied Settings, for this course, the practical stakes show up in stronger conceptual consistency and better translational decision making, not in abstract discussion alone.

Practitioners may benefit from guidance on advanced clinical decision-making. However, there is currently limited research on problem-solving strategies for issues that arise during assessment processes. The purpose of this symposium is to discuss four projects that describe clinical decision-making nuances for assessing complex behavior-environment relations in applied settings. The first project focused on contextual variables during the assessment process. The second project evaluated the effects of including condition-specific stimuli in a trial-based functional analysis (TBFA) following an initial TBFA that had yielded unclear results. The third project demonstrated a process for evaluating the impact of schedule changes on challenging behavior. The fourth project evaluated the impact of a potential conditioned aversive stimulus on a client's duration of interaction with preferred activities. A broader discussion on clinical decision-making will follow the presentation of the four projects. Keywords: contextual variables, schedule changes, undifferentiated responding, conditioned suppression.
