Presentation companion • Newly written educational practice aid informed by the sources identified below. This is not a validated assessment or a diagnostic instrument. Adapt collaboratively within your training, role, and consented services.

  1. What matters to the caregiver in this routine? Use their words.
  2. What thoughts, feelings, or practical barriers do they choose to share?
  3. Which actions seem to move toward what matters? Check with the caregiver.
  4. Which actions seem to move away, and what short-term function might they serve? Avoid judgment.
  5. Identify one freely chosen, achievable action and review it together.
  6. Keep the exercise tied to consented behavioral goals; do not use it to process trauma or diagnose mental health conditions.

Conceptual sources: (Behavior Analyst Certification Board [BACB], 2020; Wilson, 2023). The specific prompts and examples are newly written teaching suggestions, rather than tested protocols from these sources.

Reflection & next step

What did the caregiver identify as most important?

What will we change, who will do it, and when will we review it?

How will we ask whether the change was helpful?
