Selecting the appropriate data type is a critical step in the goal preparation process. This choice determines how you will track progress on a student’s annual goal or benchmark by attaching a digital data sheet directly to the goal.

Types of Data Sheets

There are two data types to choose from, depending on the nature of the goal. Select your data type. Choose either Accuracy or Task Analysis based on the goal’s requirements.

Option #1 Accuracy Data Type

• Measures the correctness of a student’s response or performance on a given task.

• Best for goals requiring percentage-based tracking or correct/incorrect assessments.

Option #2 Task Analysis Data Type

• Involves a systematic breakdown of complex skills or tasks into smaller, manageable steps.

• Ideal for goals that require tracking progress across multiple steps or components.

How to Select and Link a Data Type

Task Analysis Setup

• When selecting Task Analysis, you’ll need to create or link a detailed breakdown of tasks:

• Click “Change Data Sheet” to proceed.

Use one of the following options:

• Link a Data Sheet: Locate an existing data sheet in the Data Sheet Library and press “Link”.

• Create New Data Sheet: Build a new task analysis directly within the interface.

💡Task analysis data sheets can also be created within the Data Sheet library - on left side tab

Using Data Sheets in Data Collection Sessions

Once the data type is selected:

• The linked data sheet will appear whenever you enter a data collection session for that specific goal.

• This allows users to collect, track, and review data efficiently and accurately.
