About this title

Synopsis

The effectiveness of support plans for challenging behavior among people who have severe disabilities is heavily dependent on how those plans are carried out by direct service staff. This book describes an evidence-based, step-by-step approach for ensuring support plans are carried out appropriately. Tried and tested strategies based on behavior analytic research and application within typical human service agencies are provided for promoting successful implementation of support plans by front-line staff. Chapter contents include: an outcome management approach for working with staff to ensure follow through with behavior plans, promoting environments that reduce the likelihood of problem behavior, essential components of behavior plans, effectively training staff in support plan procedures, monitoring plan implementation in ways acceptable to staff, maintaining implementation proficiency by staff, and correcting problems with implementation. Special highlights of the book include how to obtain staff buy-in for behavior support plans, preparing support plans to facilitate staff follow through, special emphasis on adults with severe disabilities, how to reduce time to train staff to implement plans, practical means for helping staff teach functional skills to replace problem behavior, and key summary points following each chapter.
