Data Collection in ABAWhy Numbers Tell the Story

Data collection is the backbone of effective ABA therapy. It provides objective evidence of progress, helps identify patterns, and guides treatment decisions.

Different types of data serve different purposes: frequency data tracks how often behaviors occur, duration data measures how long behaviors last, and intensity data captures the severity of behaviors.

Modern data collection tools, including mobile apps and digital platforms, make it easier than ever to capture accurate, real-time information across different environments. This comprehensive approach ensures that interventions are working effectively and adjustments can be made promptly when needed.
