Measuring What Matters: Caregiver Competence as a Clinical Outcome in Applied Behavior Analysis

In this webinar, Cate Davis, PhD, BCBA-D, LBA (Hi Rasmus), Sean Yocum, MA, BCBA, LBA, and Michael Carrero, BCBA, LBA (both of Hickory Learning Group) share findings from a retrospective review of 20 families, showing how the G.A.I.N. Protocol measures caregiver competence as a clinical outcome alongside learner skill acquisition.

The team walks through statistically significant gains in caregiver independence, what the data does and doesn’t show, and what it means for clinical teams ready to move beyond output-based quality metrics. As Cate Davis put it during the session, a result can clear every statistical bar and still fail the test that matters most — whether a caregiver, clinician, or child would actually notice the difference on a Tuesday afternoon without a clinician in the room. Watch the recording to see the full results and what’s next for GAIN Protocol validation research.
