ABA mums...

Got a few questions

1 - Do you graph data? I have no idea why our consultant has never asked us to do it.
2 - If you run a full day school ABA program, how is data shared between home and school?
3 - Do you have common data sheets between home and school? Our school doesnt want to see home data on school sheets

Hi,

1-Our tutors graph data after every session whether at home or school.
2-Our DS is now at school full time so doesn't have any home sessions at the moment but when he was doing home and school sessions we had a folder kept at school with all school targets and another folder kept at home. Because we had different programs in both settings there was no need for common data sheets.
We have team meetings every two weeks where the school folder is brought back so I can see the school data for myself then.

Thanks.. can you share some examples of what goes on the graph?

We usually do 20 trials (although sometimes spread throughout a session and not necessarily in one go).
So for example if we were doing tacting colours the tutors would record how many times DS answered correctly and the graph would go up to 20 on the y-axis (vertical) and the tutors then put the date and their initials on the x-axis (horizontal) and then plot the number of correct responses. That way we can measure his progress and see if any changes need to be made.

Hope that helps.

thanks... makes sense
