When customizing a skill acquisition program for a client, there are several ways to collect data. The following resource will describe each data collection type and how data is collected on the mobile-app (typically used in real time with clients) or website (data entry tab).

Opportunity Based

  • Opportunity based data collection types can be used with or without prompts.

    • Without prompts would provide the staff with a + or

    • With prompts would provide the staff with an abbreviation corresponding to the prompt (e.g., V for Visual).

    • Symbols or abbreviations display on both the website and mobile-app.

  • Mastery criteria requires identifying a minimum number of trials for the target to count towards mastery criteria.

  • Targets need to be added for data collection.

Task Analysis

  • When selecting task analysis, you can choose Forward Chain, Backward Chain, or Total Task.

  • This data collection type can also be with or without prompts (each step would have a symbol/letter).

  • Mastery criteria requires a percentage of steps to be correct.

  • Teaching steps need to be added for data collection.

    • If using forward or backward chains, the current step will display and all previously mastered steps until the mastery criteria is met, then the next step will open for data collection.

    • An N/A option is available when collecting data on Task Analyses for a step(s) unavailable during opportunities.

  • When collecting data (on website or mobile app) multiple opportunities of the task can be added.

  • Task Analysis data collection cannot be used with a Goals and Objectives program (will automatically change to Goal Only).

Duration

  • Select the minimum duration for targets to meet mastery criteria.

  • When collecting data for this program on the website (within data entry), a total duration of the behavior/response is entered as seconds, minutes, or hours.

    • An observation length is also entered (i.e., How long did you observe the client?).

  • When collecting data on the mobile app, a toggle option is used to identify the duration of a target (automatically keeps time) for each instance.

  • Add Targets to collect duration data.

  • Within the Analyze Data tab, a supervisor can convert total duration to an average per occurrence.

Frequency

  • Setting mastery criteria requires a minimum number of occurrences for each target.

  • When collecting data on the website (within data entry), enter a total number of occurrences.

    • An observation length is also entered (i.e., How long did you observe the client?).

  • When collecting data on the mobile app, a + button is available for staff to add each individual occurrence for the target.

  • Add Targets to collect frequency data.

  • Within the Analyze Data tab, a supervisor can convert frequency to a rate (i.e., count per min or hour).

Interval

  • Interval based recording allows for Partial Interval, Whole Interval, and Momentary Time Sampling (MTS).

  • Set the interval length by seconds, minutes, or hours.

  • Mastery Criteria is set to a minimum % of intervals with the behavior occurring.

  • Add targets to collect interval-based data.

  • On the website (within data entry), a total percentage of intervals is entered and the total length of observation.

  • When collecting data on the mobile-app, the timer automatically counts down from the predetermined interval and resets for the staff at zero. When recording data:

    • Partial interval will have an occurred button to identify when the behavior occurred.

    • Whole interval will have a toggle button (toggle on/toggle off for each instance).

    • MTS has a visual prompt that appears on the screen for data collection.

      • Y for Yes, N for No, and C for Cancel.

    • All % calculations are automatically computed after syncing data.

  • No labels
