BEFORE YOU BEGIN:

  • In order to take Skill Acquisition data in the app, the Targets must first be created, opened, and at an In Treatment status in the Portal.

NOTE:  To learn more about creating Targets in the Portal, please visit Targets: Create, Rename, Delete, Clone or Move.

  • To take Behavior Reduction data in the app, the Behaviors must be created in the Portal.

NOTE:  To learn more about creating Behaviors in the Portal, please visit Behaviors: Create, Edit, or Archive.

  • Target Playlists are convenient ways to group Targets that users can customize based on student needs or user preferences. This allows access to all relevant Targets in one easy-to-find list on the app.

NOTE:  To learn more about creating Playlists, please visit Playlists Subtab.

Score Target Data

The way in which users score data will be determined by Target Type. Take data on the right side of the screen using Target Instructions (if needed) and tap the appropriate selection.

As soon as data points are collected for a Target, the Catalyst app will display the next Target as determined by Program and Session Settings.

For specific information on each Target Type, see Target Types Glossary.

Target_Scoring_Screen_3.png As data points are collected, the Target Progress Bars on the left side of the screen will show Target's progress. They will also show a current count of trials (such as 4/5, 5/5, etc.).

  2. A popup of the most recent data scores displays as Undo Past Data.
