Previous research has investigated the use of package interventions to increase accuracy of progress note completion and found that they can be effective. While effective, package interventions consisting of many components can be time consuming and difficult to use in applied settings. Thus, the purpose of the current study was to investigate the use of a single intervention (checklists), opposed to a treatment package, for its effects on session note accuracy in an ABA facility. A non-concurrent multiplebaseline design across individuals was used to compare the accuracy of three behavior technician’s session note documentation before, during, and after the use of a checklist. All three participants were unable to meet mastery criteria with the checklist alone. The addition of verbal and written feedback rapidly increased performance to mastery level. This finding indicates that checklists alone may be insufficient to increase session note accuracy and multiple components from a behavioral skills intervention may be necessary to improve staff performance on session note documentation.  \nKeywords: Applied behavioral analysis, autism spectrum disorder, checklists feedback, organizational behavior management  \nRunning Head: Use of Checklist to Increase Staff Performance 4  \nContents  \nIntroduction ........................................................................................................................5  \nABA for Autism Spectrum Disorder .......................................................................................... 5  \nDocumenting ABA Services ................................................................................................................. 6  \nOrganizational Behavior Management ...............................................................................7  \nBehavioral Skills Training .......................................................................................................... 9  \nPerformance Feedback ............................................................................................................. 10  \nFeedback Delivery .............................................................................................................................. 10  \nSelf-Monitoring ........................................................................................................................ 11  \nChecklists ................................................................................................................................. 12  \nOBM Interventions","cbCait27vG0n3UQ5","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCait27vG0n3UQ5","pdf",363488,31,"English","# Introduction\n## ABA for Autism Spectrum Disorder\n## Documenting ABA Services\n## Organizational Behavior Management\n## Behavioral Skills Training\n## Performance Feedback\n## Feedback Delivery\n## Self-Monitoring\n## Checklists\n## OBM Interventions to Improve Session Notes\n## Statement of the Problem\n# Method\n## Participants\n## Materials\n## Experimental Design\n## Procedure\n## Baseline\n## Intervention\n## Follow-up Probes\n## Assessment of Social Validity\n# Results\n## Interobserver Agreement (IOA)\n## Social Validity\n# Discussion","[{\"question\":\"Why are session notes important in an ABA facility?\",\"answer\":\"Session notes are required for insurance documentation and provide a record of progress and problems to guide further treatment.\"},{\"question\":\"What did the study compare regarding note accuracy?\",\"answer\":\"It compared the accuracy of three behavior technicians’ session note documentation before, during, and after checklist use.\"},{\"question\":\"Did checklists alone achieve the performance mastery criteria?\",\"answer\":\"No. All participants failed to reach mastery using the checklist alone, but adding verbal and written feedback increased performance to mastery.\"}]","Use of Checklists to Increase Staff Performance on Documentation of Session Notes in an ABA Facility | PDF",1789916976,78]
