The Use of Preference Assessments in Applied Settings

This presentation will provide a brief review of the literature on preference assessments and discuss different formats and various stimuli used. Following, a demonstration on how to conduct the multiple-stimulus without replacement (MSWO) preference assessment will be provided, walking you through how to collect stimuli, implement the assessment, and score the results. Additionally, we will review how to use the results as part of your planning and treatment.

This recorded webcast will enable participants to:

1.     Identify stimuli for use in preference assessments
2.     Implement an MSWO preference assessment
3.     Train direct care staff to conduct preference assessments
