Fieldwork activity description library

Ran [client]'s programs for the session and took data on each one. [program] is close to mastery, the rest held where they were.

Worked through today's targets with [client] in the natural environment rather than at the table, since that is where the skill has to hold up.

Block of discrete trials on [program] with [client], recording correct and prompted responses trial by trial.

Covered [n] programs with [client] today. Nothing unusual came up and the data went in at the end of the session.

Session with [client] following the plan as written. [behavior] did not come up at all today, which is new.

Taught [target] with [client] at the prompting level the plan specifies, and faded to [level] by the end of the session.

Ran [client]'s behavior plan through the session, including the replacement behavior and what we do when [behavior] happens.

Used the antecedent strategies from [client]'s plan through the morning routine, which is when [behavior] usually shows up.

Delivered the differential reinforcement procedure as written during [activity] and logged every instance of [behavior].

Held the extinction component through [behavior] in session, which took longer today than it has been.

Ran the token system with [client] across the session and exchanged at the points the plan sets out.

Worked on [skill] with [client] using the task analysis. He is independent through step [n] and still needs a prompt at the handover.

Ran the toileting schedule with [client] across the session and recorded each scheduled check.

Practiced [skill] with [client] inside the normal routine rather than setting it up as a separate activity.

Followed the feeding protocol with [client] at lunch, including the presentation order the plan specifies.

Chaining session on [skill] with [client], working backward from the last step as the program sets out.

Session at home with [client]. Same programs as clinic, but the distractions are different and the data show it.

Supported [client] at [setting] and ran the plan there. Harder to hold the schedule outside the clinic.

Ran [client]'s programs in the classroom alongside what the teacher had planned, so the targets fitted into the lesson.

Community session with [client] practicing [skill] in a real setting rather than a rehearsed one.

Worked with [client] through the transition between activities, which is where the plan expects trouble.

Scored [program] trial by trial during the session so the graph stays current.

Spent the first part of the session pairing with [client] before moving into programs.

Used the session's closing routine with [client], which the plan treats as a target in its own right.

Followed [client]'s safety plan when [behavior] escalated, then documented what happened and when.

Rewrote how we define [behavior] for [client] so everyone scores it the same way. Added examples and non-examples, then checked agreement with [RBT] on a session.

Two of us scored the same session differently, so I tightened the definition of [behavior] and sent the new one to the team.

Compared what the permanent product shows against what we record in session for [program], and recommended we keep one and drop the other.

Checked what caregivers report about [behavior] against the session data, and wrote up where the two do not line up.

Counted [behavior] across [n] sessions with [client] to answer whether it is actually getting more frequent or just more noticeable.

Converted the counts for [behavior] to rate per hour so sessions of different lengths could be compared honestly.

Timed [behavior] with [client] across the week and worked out the average and the range, because the count alone was not telling us much.

Measured how long [client] takes to respond after the instruction in [program], to see whether the prompt is coming too fast.

Worked out that partial interval was inflating [behavior] for [client] and explained to the team why we were switching.

Changed [program] to continuous recording because the behavior was short enough that the intervals were missing it.

Compared the data sheet for [program] against what staff actually record, and fixed the parts nobody was filling in.

Picked how to measure [behavior] for [client], balancing what matters clinically against what a person can realistically record mid-session.

Put [program] on a cumulative record so the team could see how fast acquisition is actually going.

Looked at [client]'s data for level, trend and variability and brought a recommendation to supervision rather than just the graph.

Looked at how supervision time is spread across the team and evened it out, because two people were getting most of it.

Rewrote the training materials so they work for staff with very different levels of experience.
