Abstract
Quality assurance in behavior planning may best be accomplished when quality measures match governing policies that closely parallel best practice standards. This article provides an example of state government creating practice guidelines for focused behavioral services delivered in a home and community-based waiver system. We provide an overview of existing quality assurance instruments for behavior plans and share a unique quality review tool with several automated features designed to assess adherence to these practice guidelines. Considerations are offered for others with interest in policy to practice alignment, along with suggestions on how behavior analysts can successfully participate in policy making and quality assurance.
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.
