So I have fallen in love with applied behavior analysis. It is exciting to collect behavior data and discuss behavior through the lens of DATA! Gone are the days of "well um bobby is throwing chairs in the class room um like about twice a day I think" and hello to "based on the data we have collected bobby throws chairs and average of 4 times per day, his higher rates happen on Monday with an average of 6 instances..." How amazing will the behavior plans be with all of this data.
Stay tuned for the picture of my beautiful excel data tracker. If you are interested in ABA check out the online (yes I said online for all you working mommies out there who don't know how they could ever go back to school with the endless list of responsibilities) Masters in applied behavior analysis at Arizona State University. It is awesome!
