Care providers within human services organizations have many job responsibilities and performance expectations. In the present study, we conducted social validity assessment with 78 care providers concerning their attitudes and opinions about behavior data recording with adults who had intellectual disability and lived in community group homes. Specifically, the care providers responded to a written questionnaire that inquired about the practicality, training/supervision, and value of behavior data recording in the context of service delivery. Results indicated generally high approval of behavior data recording practices, purposes, and approaches to training. We discuss implications of these findings for implementing data recording by care providers and the contribution of social validity assessment to training and performance management within human services organizations.

The heteropolytungstic acids, especially certain of the phosphotungstic and silicotungstic acids, are photooxidizing agents with properties that suggest their use in photographic processes. The chemical and physical properties of the substances are described, and simple demonstrations of three new photographic processes based upon phosphotungstic acid are outlined. These comprise a printing out process producing images in pigments of basic dyes; phototropic, and therefore reusable, printing out materials; and the development of a latent image.
