Task Analysis Setup
Set up a multi-step skill with steps, prompt levels, chaining and assessment settings.
Add a multi-step skill
Add a skill from the client or student’s Programs tab and choose Task Analysis as its Recording Method.
Task Analysis is available on Solo and Teams, and you can try it with the demo client.
1. Add the steps
2. Review the setup
Add each step in the order it will be performed. Use observable actions so the people recording data can recognize when each step is complete. Reorder steps as needed and add optional notes for instructions specific to a step.
Match the setup to the plan
Configure the prompt levels, chaining method and assessment mode to match the learner’s plan.
Prompt levels record the support used for each step. The default choices include Independent, Gestural, Verbal, Model, Partial Physical and Full Physical. No Response (NR) is a separate response category, not a prompt level. You can add, remove or reorder prompt levels in the editor.
Chaining method identifies the teaching approach: Total Task, Forward or Backward. Choose the approach specified in the plan.
Assessment mode controls how the assessment proceeds:
| Mode | What happens during recording |
|---|---|
| Multiple Opportunity | You can score each step regardless of performance on earlier steps. |
| Single Opportunity | Assessment stops after the first non-independent response. Remaining steps are left unscored, not marked independent. |
Save and set objectives
You can add an objective now or later. In Objectives, choose Add objective and use the criteria specified in the learner’s plan; see Objectives & Mastery Criteria for setup and review.
Save the skill to return to Programs. It is then available to select for a session. Follow Task Analysis During Sessions to record step responses, or Task Analysis Reports to review collected data.
