Suggested Readings
1. In the Beyond Behavior Special Issues, read the method, results, and discussion section
of articles 2-4 to see how the intervention was designed, implemented, and evaluated

2. Read the following chapters in

Umbreit, J., Ferro, J., Liaupsin, C., & Lane, K. (2007). Functional behavioral assessment
and function-based intervention: An effective, practical approach. Upper Saddle River,
N. J.: Prentice-Hall.
a. Chapter 10 to learn how to test the intervention
b. Chapter 13 to learn how to monitor the intervention and analyze intervention outcomes

Step 5 Tips:
1. Be sure you use an experimental design to make certain you can actually demonstrate a
function relation between the introduction of the intervention and changes in student
performance.

2. Phase changes are determine by examining data (e.g., stability, level, and trend) and are
not determined by the amount of time a student spends in each phase.

3. Phase changes should not occur before or after breaks in the school year calendar.

4. Be certain to collect treatment integrity data with each introduction of the intervention.

5. The post-intervention social validity measures are completed by stakeholders after the
intervention has been tested and the outcomes (e.g., graph and other data) have been shared with
and explained to the stakeholders.

6. When you complete HO 6.1, remember it will be used by the current and future teachers.
Be certain to include a blank copy of the treatment integrity form for future use as well as a
completed graph showing the complete intervention outcomes.
