| DBR use in assessment provides
information to evaluate child behavior and guide
decisions related to behavior supports. For instance, a
DBR may be used to answer the question, "What
percentage of time is Sarah disruptive during math
class?" or "What percentage of the time is Immanuel
compliant with adult instructions?" |
How can I use a DBR in
assessment?
It's simple and quick! Print out a DBR form and
complete the top section.
- Determine the behaviors of interest, either by
selecting from among the possible pre-defined
target behaviors or identify your own target
behavior.
- Decide who, where, and how often to collect
behavior ratings with DBR (e.g., daily, weekly).
Ratings can be completed in a matter of
seconds.
- Collect multiple ratings across different
occasions (e.g. periods, days) (see DBR Standard
Form Instructions).
- Plot data graphically, and evaluate child
behavior (see DBR
Graphing and Interpretation.)
