The Client Program Tab is a tab located within a client’s profile where Skill Acquisition programs are customized to the client. When customizing a program within the Client Program tab, you first need to add the program from the Program Library. See Overview of Program Library to learn how to add a program.
This resource will provide an overview of the different sections that can be customized within a program (e.g., mastery criteria, data collection type, adding targets, adding prompt hierarchies, etc.) and help to further explain all options.
When customizing a skill acquisition goal/program for a client you select the program from the tab it was placed in when “adding it” from the Program Library (i.e., Current or Future tab).
Current Tab = The program(s) will immediately display and be available for baseline data collection.
Future Tab = The program(s) will not display or be available for baseline data collection until moved to the current tab.
*Programs placed in either tab can be fully customized by a supervisor.
Once you’ve selected the program from the list on the left-hand side:
1. RENAME the title of the Program (if needed). This is the program name that holds targets for data collection, so it typically remains general (e.g., labeling animals, attending to task, making a bed, tolerating an aversive, etc.)
2. After renaming it, you then select EDIT to customize each area of the program to how you’d like the program to be ran. See the resource below to overview each area that can edited and what it means for the staff collecting data. Fields of a Skill Acquisition Program.
NOTE: Editing a program is required to move from the baseline to the teaching/intervention condition. Specifically, you cannot move from baseline to teaching/intervention until targets are added to the program.
Options to MOVE PROGRAMS across the file folders within the Client Program tab can be found by selecting the “Move Program” icon in the top righthand corner. At most, a Client Program tab may have up to 4 file folders to store programs (i.e., Current, Future, Mastered, and Discontinued).
NOTE: File folders will only appear if a program is stored in that corresponding folder. For instance, if a program is never moved to the Future folder, it will not appear within the Client Program tab).
Four options are available to supervisors:
Mark as Mastered
Move to Lesson Library
Move to Future Plan
Move to Discontinued
