Accepted Clinical Practice means any behavior management procedure or treatment, the effectiveness of which has received clear empirical support as documented by publication in peer reviewed journals or similar professional literature.
Accepted Clinical Practice means treatment that includes medical, psychological, psychiatric or behavioral procedures that are recognized by professionals in a particular area of service delivery (e.g., medical personnel, psychologists, behavioral modification program technicians, social workers, etc.) as effective treatment for a particular clinical diagnosis. This may be evidenced by FDA approval, citations in textbooks or peer reviewed professional journals, recognition by professional societies or organizations as acceptable practice, or other commonly used reporting mechanisms.
