Are you drowning in data but still missing progress? In this episode, we’re talking about the five most common data collection mistakes we’ve seen (and made!)—and how to fix them. Whether you're a BCBA, teacher, or therapist, these tips will help you streamline your systems, support your staff, and actually use the data you're collecting.
🧠 Key Takeaways:
📊 Too much data = too little connection — Prioritize quality over quantity.
🧍♀️ Inconsistent systems can lead to confusing or unusable data—align your team early!
🧾 Vague definitions = meaningless data. Use clear, shared operational definitions.
🧩 Wrong tools = no follow-through — Choose formats your team can actually use.
⏰ Data with no review is wasted — Schedule regular check-ins and use what you gather.
