Autism treatment has long been known as a ‘fad magnet’ that attracts well-vetted empirically-based effective treatments, but unfortunately, also attracts ill-advised, ineffective, and unethical treatments. Parents and caregivers seek effective ways of teaching skills, maximizing independence, and improving the quality of life for individuals with autism. They assume those professionals who have degrees, certifications, and visibility in the eld know what they are doing, and believe the hype and marketing that service providers disseminate about the methods they use. The proponents of all autism treatments assert that their treatments will work. They want parents and caregivers to be hopeful that their particular treatments will meet the goals and desires of those seeking treatment. However, the fact is that some treatment providers can only provide the hype without also delivering the effective outcomes of their therapy. Hype is freely given. Real hope, gleaned from evidenced-based strategies that produce objectively measured positive outcomes, is harder to come by.

The term treatment integrity refers to the extent to which interventions are implemented as they are designed. For over 20 years, there have been calls for increased reporting of treatment integrity in research and consideration of treatment integrity in clinical practice. Yet, treatment integrity remains an infrequent research topic and rare practice consideration. In this presentation, I describe several studies evaluating levels of treatment integrity across commonly used, reinforcement-based interventions for challenging behavior. I hope to convince the audience that evaluations of treatment integrity are critical for research and practice if we hope to create sustainable change in socially significant behavior.

We just relaunched the Open Behavioral Science website to make it more streamlined and hopefully more useful. Along with updating a bunch of links and resources, we added an autogenerated open science newsfeed and even created a proper logo! Check it out and join the fight to make behavioral science more open.

Our process for creating a coursepack has been greatly improved! With our new coursepack creation form, you can now:

Save a draft of your form submission

If something comes up while you’re completing the form or you just can’t decide which modules to add yet, you can now easily save a draft of your coursepack submission and return to it whenever you're ready. Neat!

View or edit past submissions

Did you just submit a coursepack but realize you forgot to include a module or misspelled your university’s name? No problem! Now you can view and edit your previous submissions (this will only apply to submissions on the new form; submissions from before February 5, 2021 will not be accessible). Revisions will only apply to coursepacks that we have not completed for you yet.

Add CEU modules to your coursepacks

Are you creating a coursepack for students or trainees who are already BCBAs or BCaBAs? Now you can monitor their completion of modules via a coursepack AND allow them to earn CEUs while doing it! Just choose to add the CEU versions of our modules to your coursepack rather than the standard versions. You'll still be able to track their progress on the myTeaching dashboard and they'll earn CEUs and a certificate of completion for each module they complete.
