Measurement-based care (MBC) is an evidence-based practice (EBP) focused on regularly administering outcome measures to clients to inform clinical decision making. While MBC shows promise for improving youth treatment outcomes, therapist adoption remains low. Clinical consultation is one strategy that improves MBC implementation, but our limited…

A clear gap exists between what evidence states as best practice for school-based occupational therapy and what is feasible for practitioners to implement. Evidence establishes that collaborative and contextual practice have a positive effect on student outcomes. Emerging evidence demonstrates that workload models, as opposed to caseload models,…

As the most common setting where youth access behavioral healthcare, the education sector frequently employs training and follow-up consultation as cornerstone implementation strategies to promote the implementation of evidence-based practices (EBPs).

This article describes the content and implementation of a training program focused on ecological-positive behavior consultation, called "Positive Environment and Behavior for…

This chapter describes Multi-tiered Systems of Support (MTSS), with a specific focus on Response to Intervention (RTI) and Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS). When outlining MTSS, authors address how MTSS evolved as well as operating characteristics of the framework. MTSS is an prevention-based framework for enhancing the…

Background: Implementation of evidence-based practices with fidelity during early intervention is important in achieving positive outcomes for children with autism spectrum disorder. However, uptake with fidelity has been poor in community settings. Traditional professional development approaches have done little to change practice. This has…

Although there have been several advances in the development of evidence-based practices (EBPs) to support students with disabilities, many rural schools struggle to use EBPs. Rural schools may experience challenges that constrain their potential to provide support for the implementation of EBPs. Furthermore, there may be a mismatch between EBPs…
