Therefore, data collection and analyses of behavior can allow clinicians and administrators within JRTFs to allocate resources strategically to prevent and respond to challenging behavior effectively. This workshop aims to provide an overview of the CMS components as developed and implemented by Board Certified and Licensed Behavior Analysts to inform evidenced-based treatment decisions for one JRTF. Learning Objectives: • Participants will be able to identify the components of a contingency management system. • Participants will learn how to use behavior tracking to increase skill acquisition and
