Behaviors and objectives

For BCBAs

Problem behaviors live at the top of the In Progress tab. Each behavior has:

  • a category, such as Aggression;
  • a topography: an observable, measurable definition;
  • antecedent interventions and consequence interventions: the behavior intervention plan your technicians see on the behavior’s card;
  • one or more objectives: Reduce Frequency (count), Reduce Duration or Reduce Rate.
The behavior details screen for Hitting, showing its category, topography, interventions and objective.
  1. On the learner’s care plan, tap +.
  2. Choose a behavior from your list, or tap Custom Behavior to create one.
  3. Add the topography and the antecedent and consequence interventions.
  4. Add an objective and configure it: the form of measure, the maximum (count, duration or rate) and the number of consecutive weeks for mastery.
  5. Start the objective.

A behavior with no objectives stays on the Future tab. An objective is collected in sessions only once it is configured and started.
