Enhancing frequency recording by developmental disabilities treatment staff.
Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis,
39, 253-256.
We evaluated a staff training and management package for
increasing accuracy of recording frequency of problem
behavior in a residential care facility. A multiple baseline
design across the first and second work shifts showed that 2
of 8 participants increased their accuracy following
in-service training, and all 8 improved during a condition
with supervisor presence and feedback. Improvements were
maintained when feedback was removed and generalized to
activity periods when neither supervisor presence nor
feedback was provided. Other staff behavior was not adversely
affected by the intervention package.
