Charts

Charts

A chart is a highly effective way of presenting information since it tends to highlight the data behavior and trends better than tables. Any study or investigation that requires recollecting and managing data should include charts for a better analysis, interpretation, and visualization of the results. Among these, ABA Therapies need them to analyze client behavior over time.

Why use charts?

  • Provides immediate access to the behavioral log.
  • Having real-time info about the variations of data incentives exploration.
  • Offers assistance when judging.
  • Promotes independent judgment and interpretation.
  • Effective source of feedback.

By using data collection and analysis methods, it is easier for professionals to measure and report accurate and real data in order to make the right decisions in determining what will be the most effective way to modify or improve the quality of the services they provide.

There are several types of data collection. For example, in the case of some therapies such as ABA, an analyst will determine what kind of data to collect depending on the type of information he or she needs about the behavior or response being evaluated.

Timing Length of time the behavior, or event occurred. Duration, Response Latency, Interresponse Time
Trial Several ways to easily record whether a response has been Correct, Incorrect, or there was no response to the test applied. Discrete Trial Teaching, Incident Teaching, Percentage of Opportunities
Task analysis Task analysis is used to break complex tasks into a sequence of smaller steps or actions. Forward Chaining, Backward Chaining, Total Task Chaining, Backward Chaining with Leaps Ahead

Data collected in the system is linked directly to the graph to be able to follow the progress of your client.
