Writing and connecting objectives to data collection
When presented with a motor action with an object and asked to “do this,” J will imitate 5 motor actions using objects/materials
What is the target behavior?
…imitate 5 motor actions using objects/materials
What behavioral dimensions should we consider?
What data collection system should be used?
When presented with a motor action with an object and asked to “do this,” J will imitate 5 motor actions using objects/materials with 40% accuracy on 3 out of 4 data sessions

Joseph has difficulty in reading. He is very slow. We are interested in increasing his fluency (how fast he reads).
What is the target behavior?
What is the behavioral dimension?
Given a 5th grade reading passage, Joseph will read 97 words per minute across three one minute reading passages.

Trial 3 50
J will independently follow all the steps in washing hands routine
What behavioral dimension? how often it happens (frequency)What data system? “all the steps” indicates a Task
Analysis or event recording
J will independently follow all the steps in washing hands routine 4 out of 5 opportunities with 100% accuracy
DateTurn on water -Get hands wet XGet soap -Wash XRinse hands XGet towel -Turn off water -Dry hands -Throw towel away -
J had difficulty staying on task even with leisure activities. Mother has requested that we work on getting him to stay engaged for at least 3 minutes so she can have a moment alone when in the house.
What behavioral dimensions should we consider?Duration – how long he stays with the activityFrequency - how many times he stays with the activity for 3 minutes
After choosing a leisure activity, J will engage in that structured activity from for 3 minutes 4 out of 5 opportunities.
Given three different reading materials (e.g, flashcards, books, signs in the community), Gitit will read 50 functional sight words (see list) with 100% accuracy.
When given a task that is new and difficult, Neil will request assistance/help at least once during the activity without engaging in challenging behavior.
Graphing
Summary of raw data into a readable format
A picture says a thousand words
Clear, easy to interpret and everyone on same page
Conversion of Data
Need to convert raw data into a more representative number
Frequency data that is collected with different number of opportunities -- percentage
Frequency data when varying amounts of time were available – rate
Interval or Time Sampling is reported in terms of number of intervals the behavior occurred or percent intervals the behavior occurred
Duration or Latency is reported in terms of number of seconds, minutes, etc…
Calculate the percentage
Divide the number of correct responses by the total number of responses and multiply the result by 100
Number of correct responses
X 100= %
Total number of responses
Computing Rate
A rate of correct responding is computed by dividing the correct responses by the time taken for responding:
# correct
Correct Time =
Time
Computing a rate of error may be done by dividing the number of errors by the time:
Errors
Rate of Error =
Time

Line graphs
Data are graphed at the appropriate intersections

Cumulative graphs
The number of occurrences are added to the previous session
This approach provides the total number of responses
Graphs must always trend upward
Bar graphs or Histograms
Data is plotted using a bar to represent the occurrences of the behavior
Permanent Product- Data to Graph
Graphed as a number of items If the number of opportunities is constant
or percentage of items If the number of opportunities varies
Summary of Data Conversion Process
Type of Recording Data Conversion
Permanent Product * Report number of occurrences
if both time and opportunities to respond are constant
Event * Report percentage if time is constant (or not of concern) and opportunities vary.
* Report rate if both time (which is of concern) and opportunities vary, OR if time varies and opportunities are constant.
Interval * Report number of intervals if constant
Time Sampling * Report percentage of intervals
during or at the end of which behavior occurred.
Duration * Report number of seconds/minutes/hours
for which the behavior occurred.
Latency * Report number of seconds/minutes/hours
between antecedent stimulus and onset of behavior.

Provide a critical analysis of the objectives below:
J will imitate 8 motor actions with gestural/ visual/verbal cues upon request using objects/materials with 40% accuracy on 3 out of 4 opportunities
Given the need to wash his hands, J will independently perform all the steps in washing hands routine 4 out of 5 opportunities with 100% accuracy
J will increase engagement from 30 seconds to 3 minutes 4 out of 5 opportunities
Given a 5th grade reading passage, Joseph will read 30 words per minute across three reading passages.
Given three different reading materials (e.g, flashcards, books, signs in the community), Gitit will read 50 functional sight words with 100% accuracy.
When given a task that is new and difficult, Neil will request assistance/help at least once during the activity without engaging in challenging behavior.
When participating in structured game with peers, J will take turns for 5 minutes.
When at recess, J will engage in social interactions 80% of the time.
J will use self-management strategies to calm himself when agitated 100% of the time.
