Applications of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) for clients are based off behavioral data collected by staff. Typically, ABA is conducted in a home, clinic, or even school setting, where staff collect and record this data for analysis by a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). However, when an individual’s behavior becomes unmanageable in an outpatient setting, they may need inpatient treatment. This data collection can and should continue in the inpatient setting, but there are various challenges and obstacles that must be addressed in order to do so. This presentation will discuss some of those challenges and provide ways to overcome them.
Target Audience
This activity is intended for psychologists, social workers, counselors, behavior analysts, and other mental health professionals.
Learning Objectives
After this lecture, registrants will be able to:
- Recognize challenges to collecting data on an inpatient unit
- Identify the procedure of data collection that will work best for you and the types of data that can be collected
- Describe how to train staff to collect data
There is no commercial support for this activity.
