A system that counts AND reinforces.

60
Q

61
Q

Why should you take data? List five reasons.

A
  1. To determine whether or not the target behavior is advancing (progress)
  2. To make dismissal decisions
  3. To determine if the target work has generalized to similar targets.
  4. To analyze successes and barriers
  5. To help with treatment modifications.
62
Q

What is “probing”?

A

Investigating a client’s skills in producing non-targeted responses on the basis of generalization.

-A planning tool to find out whether the targeted skills are advancing to higher levels and to make dismissal decisions.
