Data Collection: Duration Recording

ARD/IEP Supports, Behavior, Significant Cognitive Disabilities, Autism, Evaluation, Instruction

This data collection form is intended for use by teachers, paraprofessionals, and other service providers collecting data for student Individualized Education Program (IEP) goals and baseline data to determine a need for new/updated IEP goals or behavior intervention.

Duration recording documents how long a student engages in a specified behavior. This type of data collection is appropriate for behaviors that have a distinct beginning and ending.

If you have questions about when or how often to collect data, refer to the student’s IEP and/or reach out to their Admission, Review, and Dismissal (ARD) committee members for guidance.
