How to Separate Relapse From Access, Health, and System Changes
Separate relapse from AAC, sensory, motor, visual, language, technology, material, partner, schedule, pain, illness, sleep, medication, and mobility changes.
Clinical guides, tools, and evidence-informed resources for thoughtful, high-quality ABA care.

Clinician guide
Separate relapse from AAC, sensory, motor, visual, language, technology, material, partner, schedule, pain, illness, sleep, medication, and mobility changes.

Clinician guide
Separate relapse from treatment-integrity failure by versioning the plan and auditing events, prompts, reinforcement, timing, partner actions, access, and repairs.

Clinician guide
Assess renewal using treatment and test contexts, response history, continuing contingencies, recurrence timing, integrity, access, experience, and alternatives.

Clinician guide
Assess resurgence using target and alternative reinforcement histories, the worsening event, recurrence, integrity, access, safety, and competing explanations.

Clinician guide
Build a relapse history across baseline, treatment, maintenance, context change, recurrence, repair, follow-up, locked responses, exposure, supports, and gaps.

Clinician guide
Define a treatment-relapse question using response classes, phase history, context, recurrence, exposure, integrity, access, health, experience, safety, and limits.

Clinician guide
Document response classes, contexts, baselines, disruptions, reinforcement, rates, persistence, recovery, experience, missingness, design limits, and decisions.

Clinician guide
Reassess persistence after response, context, reinforcement, access, health, effort, disruption, or priority changes with versioned baselines and comparisons.

Clinician guide
Separate high-probability request data from momentum evidence using screened requests, integrity, choice, baseline, context, disruption, and persistence measures.

Clinician guide
Assess target and alternative responses, obtained reinforcement, integrity, effort, disruption, relapse, client experience, adverse effects, and causal limits.

Clinician guide
Compare richer and leaner reinforcement contexts using obtained events, matched disruptions, own-context baselines, normalized persistence, order, and limits.

Clinician guide
Choose natural or low-risk disruption evidence with precise events, matched measures, health and access safeguards, assent, stop rules, and limits on interpretation.
