Measuring Behavior with Discontinuous Methods

In today’s episode of BOOST U!, Maddie Duke, M.S., BCBA, and Corey Robertson, M.S., BCBA, talk about discontinuous measurement from section C of the BCBA task list. Listeners can expect to learn when to use these measurement techniques, how well this form of data collection represents real behavior and examples of each type of discontinuous measurement.
