Applied behavior analytic interventions frequently succeed in teaching immediate discrete skills, yet service delivery can struggle with seamless generalization and lasting client self-determination. This presentation provides an applied, five-stage framework—"Road Mapping"—that integrates core behavior-analytic technologies (task analysis, stimulus fading, objective data tracking) into person-centered, values-directed programming. Attendees will examine how to operationalize long-term client destinations into graduated milestones and manageable daily steps. The session also details data-driven decision-making strategies to navigate clinical plateaus, behavioral regressions, and environmental transitions without losing sight of the overarching goal. In addition, the course emphasizes ethical and collaborative practice by structuring regular feedback mechanisms that elevate the learner’s voice, align multi-disciplinary team members, and set measurable timelines for fading behavioral supports. The workshop concludes with an applied practice activity where attendees construct a sample road map using provided workshop materials.

Learning Objectives
1
By the end of this 1.5-hour session, participants will be able to:
2
Formulate meaningful, observable, and socially valid long-term independence goals centered on learner values and input from their circle of support (BACB Task List: H-1, H-2).
3
Design an individualized instructional itinerary by task-analyzing complex long-term outcomes into sequential milestones and integrating systematic prompt-fading procedures (BACB Task List: G-11, G-14).
4
Apply data-based decision rules to modify behavioral programming when facing client plateaus, setbacks, or environmental shifts while preserving the terminal target (BACB Task List: H-6, H-7).
5
Develop an interdisciplinary review schedule and fading timeline that incorporates multi-tiered stakeholder feedback, prioritizing client assent and autonomy (Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts: Section 2.01, 2.09, 2.11).
