Lesson Builder: Building out Lessons
The Lesson Build was created and designed with a high level of customization to allow a wide range of providers to create the perfect session structures for their staff. ABA is not just a science but an art! This space, we hope, gives the artist in you an opportunity to create session structures that let your staff know exactly what you need from them, eliminating guessing and increasing efficiency. And yes, that right you figured it out, Lesson and Session in Welina's world have the same meaning.
IMPORTANT: At this time, Client programs MUST be added to a lesson in order for your staff to access them for data collection on the Welina mobile app.
What is the Lesson Builder exactly?
The lesson builder allows you select any number of programs currently in a Client's Program Management profile and put them into a specific curated Lesson. For example if you provide services to a client at school in the morning and home in the evenings. There may be some skill acquisition programs relevant in both settings and some that are exclusive to each setting. Building lessons allows you to separate, for your staff, what program you want them to run. They will pick the lesson relevant to the setting they are providing services in. This is where you get to be creative depending on how you as a provider deliver services.
How to Create a Lesson
- Navigate to
from the menu
- Select Create Lesson button at the top right corner
- Give your Lesson a name! This is what your staff will see
- Choose what you want the lesson frequency to be
- You can choose "daily" which means it will always appear for your staff when they conduct a session
- Or you can choose "Weekly" which will provide you the days of the week which you can assign the lesson to show up. Your lessons will only show available to run on the App on the days of the week selected.
- Assign which staff members from the team that you want to be able see/access the lesson
- Enter in Tags (this helps with search and filtering)
- Enter in Lesson instructions which your staff can view on the Welina App prior to stating the lesson
- Think session structure, tasks you want them to do as soon as they enter the session or before they begin the session, etc.
- Next decide if you want a specific Lesson Note template linked to this lesson.
- If you choose a specific Note Template for the lesson, this note template will be the ONLY note template option your staff can use when running that lesson during session.
- If you do not choose a specific note template assigned to the Lesson, your staff will have the option to choose from all active templates in your Note Template list.
- Last step is to select the programs you want to appear in this lesson! But wait, you also don't have to select any programs to be added to the lesson. More on that below.
Lessons without Programs
For any instances in which a Note is needed but no direct services are being render you will use what we call the "Empty Lesson". This is a Lesson built out without any programs added to it. When an "Empty Lesson" is selected from the Welina app, you will be redirected straight to the Note template to complete and submit. This allows you build and create specific documentation for assessment, report writing, or other indirect work you might be billing for.
