Detecting and Troubleshooting Treatment Failures: A Crucial Component of Evidence-Based Practice of ABA

Evidence-based practice (EBP) involves using the best available scientific evidence, considering individual client needs and context, practitioner competence, ongoing progress monitoring, and early detection of treatment failures. Originally developed in medicine, EBP has been applied to applied behavior analysis (ABA) services, considered crucial for ethical and high-quality delivery. This presentation from the 2017 Michigan Autism Conference highlights clinical progress monitoring for detecting treatment failures and introduces a checklist for troubleshooting such failures.
