Abstract

Promoting excellence in autism intervention is arguably more urgent than ever for the field of applied behavior analysis. To fulfill this objective, autism agencies must operate from validated program systems and do so with fidelity. Program components include, but are not limited to, staff training and evaluation of clinical skills, functional personnel roles designed to promote positive outcomes for those served, and professional staff-communication-skill repertoires. Data on client outcomes must be tied to implementation of core program variables; and, contingencies between the data on client outcomes and staff performance must exist. Furthermore, these contingencies must be yoked across members of the organization to ensure a sustainable and effective program model. Finally, data on consumer satisfaction must be collected and used to evaluate program components and agency practices. Members of the Alliance for Scientific Autism Intervention have implemented key program-wide systems based upon the work of McClannahan and Krantz Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 26, 589–596 (1993) for decades and across various agency cultures. Data collected by six independent educational agencies on client outcomes, program implementation, and consumer feedback for a 10-year time span demonstrate the sustainability of the model and support the importance of key organizational systems and the relationship between implementation of the model and high-quality outcomes for individuals with autism.

自闭症科学干预联盟：来自优质服务机构的系统组件和成果数据

摘要对于应用行为分析领域来说，促进自闭症干预的卓越性可以说比以往任何时候都更为迫切。为了实现这一目标，自闭症机构必须在经过验证的项目系统中运作，并做到忠实。项目的组成部分包括但不限于：员工培训和临床技能评估、旨在促进服务对象取得积极成果的员工职能角色，以及专业员工沟通技能复习。服务对象的结果数据必须与核心计划变量的执行情况挂钩；服务对象的结果数据与工作人员的表现之间必须存在或然性。此外，这些应急措施必须与组织内的所有成员挂钩，以确保计划模式的可持续性和有效性。最后，必须收集有关消费者满意度的数据，并用于评估项目组成部分和机构实践。几十年来，自闭症科学干预联盟的成员们根据麦克兰纳汉（McClannahan）和克兰茨（Krantz）的研究成果，在不同的机构文化中实施了关键的全项目系统，《应用行为分析杂志》（Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis），26，589-596（1993）。六家独立教育机构在 10 年时间跨度内收集的有关客户成果、项目实施和消费者反馈的数据证明了该模式的可持续性，并支持关键组织系统的重要性以及该模式的实施与自闭症患者的高质量成果之间的关系。

期刊介绍： Behavior Analysis in Practice, an official journal of the Association for Behavior Analysis International, is a peer-reviewed translational publication designed to provide science-based, best-practice information relevant to service delivery in behavior analysis. The target audience includes front-line service workers and their supervisors, scientist-practitioners, and school personnel. The mission of Behavior Analysis in Practice is to promote empirically validated best practices in an accessible format that describes not only what works, but also the challenges of implementation in practical settings. Types of articles and topics published include empirical reports describing the application and evaluation of behavior-analytic procedures and programs; discussion papers on professional and practice issues; technical articles on methods, data analysis, or instrumentation in the practice of behavior analysis; tutorials on terms, procedures, and theories relevant to best practices in behavior analysis; and critical reviews of books and products that are aimed at practitioners or consumers of behavior analysis.
