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.
