With the increasing need for behavior consultation to schools and community programs, it is necessary to examine which practices are most effective in providing this service. This workshop examines those variables that increase and decrease the extent to which consultation is effective. Participants will learn how to identify barriers to follow-through and maintenance of the consultant’s recommendations. We will discuss the importance of contextual fit when designing and implementing evidence-based interventions. The importance of treatment integrity data and how to use it to guide programming will be reviewed. We will discuss the importance of giving feedback to staff and measures of client satisfaction. Research regarding effective methods to provide feedback will be reviewed.
