Similar to ABA today, Therapeutic School Based Mental/Behavioral Health services in the late 90's and early 2000's originally used daily Data Collections tools to track-analyze and determine effectiveness of goals, objectives, strategies and progress toward level/tier progress. This data also drove weekly supervision and "all" changes related to ISP's, formulation of quarterly reports and discharge determinations, which often reduced length of stay in services and improved outcomes both short and long-term for students. 

With the enhanced clinical structure being outlined in this document, returning back to data collection tools (now-software) would allow for better empirical daily data collection, treatment discussion and outcomes. The use of data collection software will also better align with the new billing format outlined in this document.
