H.6 · Procedural integrity before changing a plan

Your client isn't improving, so should you throw out the plan? Not so fast. First check whether the plan was actually carried out as written.

Key takeaway
Procedural integrity is how closely an intervention is carried out as written. Always look at integrity data next to the client's data. If progress is poor and integrity is low or unknown, fix the implementation first with training and feedback. Change the intervention only when integrity is high and the client still isn't making progress.
