Supervisory Intervention: Improving Data Reporting by Direct-Care Staff at a Child Services Program
Flood, William A.; Luiselli, James K.
Child & Family Behavior Therapy, v34 n1 p70-75 2012
We report a study that addressed behavior data recording by direct-care staff at a child services program. In response to a decreasing percentage of daily data recording in two community-based group homes, a supervisory intervention was implemented, consisting of a revised data recording form and providing performance feedback to the direct-care staff. The intervention increased and maintained the percentage of daily data recording each month across the two group homes and seven sets of child behavior data. The study represents one approach toward staff performance improvement within child services programs. (Contains 2 figures.)
