This assignment is intended to help students demonstrate the behavioral components of this competency in their field education
.
To Prepare: Review the agency’s intervention/treatment plan used to engage clients. After reviewing the agency’s intervention/treatment plan, consult the literature and conduct extensive research, with the goal of finding best practices that supports or adds to the agency’s current intervention/treatment plan.

2. Briefly discuss best practices about interventions identified in the literature
3. Briefly discuss how the agency can incorporate those best practices into the current intervention/treatment plan
4. Provide a brief summary of the similarities and differences between the intervention/treatment plan used at the agency and the suggested practices in the literature
