Targets: Create, Rename, Delete, Clone or Move

A Target is a detailed skill within each Program. For example, in the Skill Area of Motor Imitation > Program of Gross Motor > Targets might include Clapping Hands or Tapping Table.    

NOTE: Once the Skill Area has been added, there must be at least one Program and one Target.

2. Click desired Program.
3. Click Create New Target.

9. Enter Override Mastery Criterion - While Mastery Criterion is defined for the student as a whole on the Setup subtab, users can also override it at each Target.
   

   Response Percentage - A measure of accuracy. It divides the number of correct responses per day by the total number of trials per day. If that resultant percentage is equal to or greater than this entered value, the criterion is met.

   
   
   • Consecutive Days– Number of required consecutive days on which ALL specified criteria must be met to achieve mastery.
   • First trial must be independent- If set to Yes, the first trial of each consecutive day (as defined by Consecutive Days) MUST be independent. If set to No, only other criteria are used to determine mastery.
