Human Service Organizations (HSO) are groups, both public and private with one main goal, to enhance human well-being. These organizations provide a variety of services for both children and adults including mental health care and educational programs. With the decrease of federal funding for these services, many private HSOs have been created to supplement the void. To ensure that these HSOs provide adequate services to their patients, it is vital that they adopt an effective model. The Organizational Behavior Management (OBM) model is an effective approach to designing, implementing, and maintaining services within HSOs. Each volume in this series highlights key concepts and applications pertinent to each division of HSOs and is written in a user-friendly format. This helps providers easily integrate the model into their own practice or organization. Educational Practices in Human Services Organizations: EnvisionSMARTTM: A Melmark Model of Administration and Operation demonstrates how to develop an educational program within HSOs, while adhering to state and federal guidelines. This book reviews various evidence-based instructional methodologies, including discrete trial training, errorless learning, and incidental teaching. To ensure the success of any program, it is important to record data for performance assessment. The authors provide instructions and templates on how to record students' progress helping to drive data informed decisions. - Outlines steps for developing standardized curriculums and lesson plans - Includes templates for recording forms and checklists for easy implementation - Reviews steps to ensure state and federal compliance - Describes strategies for developing interdisciplinary service teams
