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. SET UP: Explain the target skill, model it, and agree on the observation context.
  2. DO: Observe a role-play or consented interaction. Record actions rather than inferred intentions.
  3. Track: permission sought; uninterrupted listening; accurate reflection; open question; shared next step. Mark observed, not observed, or no opportunity.
  4. REFLECT: Ask the practitioner to evaluate the interaction; give specific feedback.
  5. Rehearse the selected improvement and observe again in another appropriate context.
  6. Include caregiver feedback. Set an individualized performance criterion before evaluating progress.

Conceptual sources: (Behavior Analyst Certification Board [BACB], 2020; Parsons et al., 2012; Taylor et al., 2019). 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?
