Continuous evaluation; of a plan, the implementation of the plan, data collection and progress or lack of progress are essential. In depth periodic evaluation is also essential.
Very simply...
You need to ask yourself "What worked?", "What didn't work?" ( or what could have made it better?) and Why? All three questions are essential for best outcomes even when everything seems to be working well or fairly well. It is a disciplined thought process that helps bring about better outcomes for clients/participants and helps to improve you as a therapist/interventionist. This process requires good "Critical Thinking" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_thinking
You need to ask these questions for all aspects of the intervention but especially about:
The environment;
The antecedents and reinforcers;
The plan;
Plan implementation; and
Data collection. Of course you must always take into consideration what is going on internally as well and how that is impacting everything else. IE. illness, reactions to medications, hormones, etc.
When you have gone through this process, adjust for better outcomes.
