FIDELITY CHECKLISTS Overview The effectiveness of an intervention plan is greatly impacted by its consistent and accurate implementation, and as supervisors, it is our role to ensure that those who implement our plans do so with fidelity. Fidelity checks are a way to assess the delivery of the intervention plan and can be measured through direct observation, self-report, and permanent products. In this assignment, you will create a fidelity checklist. Refer to your treatment plan developed in your PSY7712/PSY7713 coursework. Identify one procedure within that plan that you would teach a behavior technician to implement (e.g. noncontingent reinforcement, functional communication training, preference assessment, positive reinforcement). Develop a fidelity checklist based on the criteria necessary for the behavior technician to effectively implement your selected procedure. You will then discuss how fidelity checks impact intervention outcomes.
