It is important to have the right data sheets to do effective ABA! This week, we have a free task analysis sheet that you can use to teach students more complex skills such as washing hands, tying shoes, using the bathroom, etc. In short, task analysis is a strategy in ABA where a complex skill such as putting on a shirt is broken down into simple component steps (e.g., take shirt out of drawer, hold with both hands, slide over head, put one arm through, etc.). Doing so allows you to use chaining techniques to teach children complex skills one step at a time. If you want more information about chaining, check out our article here.
