A hard routine is rarely hard because nobody knows the plan. It is hard in the ten minutes when the plan meets a child who does not want it and two adults who each have to answer right now. One adult repeats the instruction. One rephrases it as a question. One starts...

The pictures are up by the door. Every step of the morning is on the strip, in order, with a clock beside the last one. A child still stops at the same point, and an adult still narrates the same four steps out loud. The usual next move is more pictures: a second...

By the time a plan review appears on the calendar, most families have a folder and not much else: a treatment plan handed over months ago, a progress report with graphs in it, and a general sense that something is about to be decided. The meeting itself is usually...

A familiar routine can run smoothly at home and still fall apart at the pharmacy counter. The skill itself has not disappeared. What changed is the setting: a line behind you, a number called over a speaker, a clerk waiting for an answer, and no clear sense of how...

A treatment plan usually reads clearly for the first several pages. The assessment findings make sense, the weekly hours are stated, and the routines that need support are named. Then comes the social section, and the language shifts. These goals describe something...

For program leaders, supervisors, and ABA administrators, a new technician’s first weeks on a case say more about consistency than any policy document does. Two people can finish the same hiring packet and still run the same plan in two different ways by the second...
