Monitoring progress is when you work on the procedures needed for reorganization and observation of the changed behavior. Following up provides the information needed to know if the behavior change results from the intervention continued to create endurance even in other settings and times. The two phases I choose are screening and monitoring evaluation . During the screening process the behavior analyst is to assess the client and to determine if further services are necessary to address behavioral problems (Cooper, Heron & Heward, 2007). It is included in behavior assessment to identify if there was a problem behavior, what variables cause and effect this behavior and if so what needs to be done for said behavior to be better.

According to 2010 census data, “more than 86,000 children in Kentucky are being raised by someone who is not their biological parent - mostly grandparents” with many in the bluegrass state blaming prescription drugs for those torn apart families (Kounang, 2013).

There will be no progress on the health of children that fall victim to SHS if nothing is ever put in place to stop it. It has been found that almost 60% of U.S. children from the age of 3-11 years of age, or around 22 million children are exposed. This is causing 790,000 doctor appointments for children with ear infections annually as well as 7,500 to 15,000 hospitalizations per year. The Environmental Protection Agency reported in 2008 that the medical cost for children exposed to second hand smoke is a total of more that $700 million per year.
