Therefore, creating, delivering and modifying staff trainings based on evidence-based approaches (i.e., methods that are scientifically proven to be effective through rigorous research) and incorporating data-driven strategies, where ongoing performance metrics and outcomes are used to continuously inform and adjust training practices, is critical in fostering a therapeutic environment. To accomplish this, an important endeavor for licensed behavior analysts within JRTFs is the integration and promotion of positive practices, clinical experience and evidence-based research. This workshop aims to provide an overview of some of the assessment and intervention strategies utilized by two Board Certified and Licensed Behavior Analysts and their team to implement evidenced-based, data driven decision making within a JRTF. Learning Objectives: • Describe how behavior data can be used to inform and allocate facility resources. • Acquire knowledge of a behavior assessment to inform and develop additional staff support. • Learn the importance of using data to tailor staff training and support.
