Switching from Baseline to Teaching / Intervention Data Collection
When opening a new program for data collection, every program begins in baseline. The move out of baseline is manual and can be completed both on the Web Browser and Mobile-App.
The resource below will demonstrate how to move out of baseline, whether you collected baseline data for the program or not. Baseline data can be back-dated, not entered at all, or entered for the current date(s) prior to moving out of baseline.
Back Dating the Move out of Baseline
If entering in historical program data for a client, whether baseline or intervention data, changing the date is required to do first. This is the same for the move out of baseline. Since every new program in Rethink begins in baseline, moving out of baseline needs to occur to enter in intervention data. Therefore, to enter in historical data, back-dating the move out of baseline is also required. IMPORTANT: Backdating the move out of baseline can only occur on the web browser, not the mobile app
To back date for both skill and behavior goals:
Select the program from the Data Entry Tab
select the Calendar Icon in the top right corner of the program
Select the date needed
Then move out of baseline (covered in the next section)
Switching on the Website / Web Browser
FOR SKILL ACQUISITION PROGRAMS:
To move out of baseline:
1) Select Data Entry for your Client and find the program on the left-hand side you’d like to collect baseline data for
2) You’ll notice the “Baseline” option to the right of the program. If you’d like to move out of baseline immediately (without collecting baseline data - or because you already collected baseline data) click on the drop down menu.
NOTE: If you’d like to stay in baseline, but back-date previously collected baseline data, no need to move out of baseline now, just back-date and enter (see our back-dating resource for more information)
3) Choose the target(s) you would like to start to work on, check the box next to the name of the target
Complete this step multiple times if you want to open multiple targets
If there are no assigned targets set within the Client Program, click ADD TARGET +
You can also add targets to programs by navigating back to the Client Program tab and editing the program
4) Once a box has been selected, a pop-up will appear that will ask you to switch from baseline to teaching data, click YES:
FOR BEHAVIOR SUPPORT PROGRAMS:
1) To move out of baseline for behavior plans, the required pieces of both Step 1 and Step 5 of the plan need to be completed:
NOTE: if you plan to collect baseline data (even if back-dated) on Rethink, only Step 1 needs to be completed, but Step 5 will need to be added once wanting to transition out of baseline
STEP 1
Step 5
2) Go to Data Entry tab and select the desired Behavior Support program from the left-hand side
3) Similar to skills, you’ll see the word baseline to the right, click on the drop down and select the intervention plan you would like to work on
The name of the plan that was created in Step 1 is what you should see in the drop down
4) The same pop up will appear noting that once you switch to intervention data, you will no longer be able to enter Baseline data, select YES
Switching on the Mobile App
Moving from Baseline to Intervention can also be completed on the Mobile App as long as targets exist for the goal.
1.) Once a program has been selected on the Mobile App, click the orange gear to the left of the program name.
2.) At the top, you will see the Baseline and Teaching options.
3.) Toggle over to the Teaching option to make the switch
4.) The same pop-up will display to confirm the switch. Press yes, to continue.
NOTE: The capability of back-dating the date of when the program was moved from baseline to intervention can only be achieved on the Web Browser
