In this episode, we talk to Board Certified Behavior Analyist (BCBA) Lydie DeFuria. We chat about what BCBA is and the tools that could be used for assessments. We discuss task analysis as a way to collect data about student progress for all or part of a task both academic and functional.  We also talk about the role of tracking accuracy, independence and both measures together to show growth. Finally, we reflect on the movement towards the most independence for a skill including thinking about how to best use environmental cues and sequences as prompts.
