Datos de observación e informes

You're working directly with students, and you're the person in the room with the most real-time evidence of whether they're getting it.

You take data on student goals, and you want to know which type (frequency, duration, latency, intensity, prompt level, permanent product, ABC notes on what happened before and after) answers the question you actually have.

You're tracking behavior that's hard to count (engagement, vocal stim, on-task), and you want to know whether whole-interval, partial-interval, or momentary time sampling fits your question.

You're teaching a skill, and you want to track honestly how much help the student actually needed, so the team can fade prompts and build real independence.

A behavior is puzzling and the team doesn't yet understand it, and you're capturing antecedent-behavior-consequence notes that the board certified behavior analyst (BCBA) or teacher can analyze for function.

You're collecting data that feeds quarterly IEP progress reports, and you want to be sure the reports tell the family and team something real about whether the student is growing.

Your school uses MTSS / RtI / PBIS terms, and you need to know what they actually mean for what *you* do.

You support a student and want to know what's typical for their age, so you can tell the difference between a skill nobody has taught them yet, an ordinary bad day, and something the team should actually look at.
