Investigation of home treatment delivery should not occur until parents have been taught all key treatment components and have had time to develop their treatment skills. Research suggests that by the end of week 4 a 30% reduction of the median weekly severity rating score2 occurs if treatment is progressing normally (Onslow, Harrison, Jones, & Packman, 2002). While this is a median value and some variation either side would be expected, for those parents and children who have not achieved a 30% reduction, the checklist could help identify if any treatment components are not being used as expected. These could be modified early in the treatment process before they cause any problems with treatment implementation.
