This session will be presented by Sasha Long, Behavior Specialist and founder of The Autism Helper. The key to successful data collection is to make it easy and doable! No matter how great your data system is - if it's too complicated, you won't use it. In this session, learn how to make your data system work for you. Learn how to create specific and individualized data sheets in a fast and simple way. We will discuss ways to take data that are efficient, time-saving, and useful. Once you have all this data, you need to know what to do with it. Making data-based decisions is critical in determining if progress has been made. Organization is the major component to a successful data system. We will discuss methods of organizing your data so you can access it readily. Staff training is also essential. Learn how to work with your staff so data is taken consistently across all areas of your classroom!
Session objectives include: Determining the type of data that needs to be taken, creating specific and individualized data sheets using PowerPoint, analyzing data to make data-based curricular decisions, organizing data sheets in a method that is easy to access throughout the day, writing specific and detailed program procedures, and training staff to take data using modeling, program procedures, and targeted observations.
