Is data collected on ABA Accelerator programs? Why is data collection important?
Yes, data are collected on all programs, and are displayed on easy to read and printable reports. Since the data are collected for you, this guarantees the reliability of the results (as they are entered). It is important to collect data because the data form the basis on which every important decision is made- to continue with the present procedure, to try something new, or to reinstate a previous condition (Cooper, Heron, and Heward, 1987).
