The accountability movement in psychology has resulted in practitioners increasingly using evidence-based interventions and treatment modalities to treat client problems. Behavioral consultation is one framework that practitioners can utilize in providing empirically supported services. In order to demonstrate the use of effective, evidence-based psychological practices, however, practitioners must carefully consider how they document their services and their outcomes. This article examines factors that practitioners must consider when writing reports on behavioral consultation cases. In addition, this article reviews 18 critical components that should be included in comprehensive behavioral consultation reports. (Contains 1 table and 1 figure.)
