Program Management is where you can build and customize your learners Treatment Plan. Programs you build will show on the Welina App for your RBT's to take Data Collection on.  

How to create skill acquisition programs: 

1. Navigate to  from the left side menu
   
2. If you have not already done so, select a learner from the "select client" bar at the top of the web page 
3. Click the  button to start creating a band new program for your learner. You will see a new window slide out like a drawer
   

There are 3 different sections (treatment information/teaching instructions/targets) to complete for building out a skill acquisition program. Let's get into it! 

Treatment Information Page

This section of program creation ties into Welina's Treatment Reporting feature in which users can build funder specific treatment report templates. Information entered into Welina programs will auto populate into your report template (FEATURE COMING SOON). 

1. Program Name: enter in the program name of the learners goal.
   
2. Status: Set the status of the program. The status you set the program for will determine whether the program appears on the app for your RTB's to collect data on.
   
1. The status which Appear on the App are:
   
1. Baseline - Used to organize programs which need to be run through baseline.
   
2. Teaching - Used to organize programs which involves skills currently being taught and targeted.
   
3. Maintenance - Used to organize whole programs in which the targeted skills are being tracked for maintenance
   
4. Generalization - Used to organize whole program in which the targeted skills are being track for generalization.
   
2. The status which DO NOT appear on the App are:
   
1. Complete: Used to organize programs that you consider fully mastered, meaning this skill is locked in your learners repertoire and you no longer need to focus on tracking data for these skills.
   
2. Pending - Used to help organize programs you have prebuilt into Welina in preparation for introducing them in the future. 
3. On-hold- Used to organize programs that you may have begun teaching but have decided to take a pause on teaching until you are ready to resume.
   
4. Discontinued - Used to organize programs that you may have begun teaching but decided should no longer be taught for whatever reason. 
3. Treatment Area: This field is optional. If used it will become a dynamic field that when using Welina's Treatment Reporting feature can help funders know what area of deficit the program you are teaching addresses. 
   
4. Baseline: Add in your learners current baseline levels of the skill. This field is optional and can be added to your Treatment Reports. 
5. Program Objective: Add in the proposed goal for this program as written into your funder specific Treatment Plan. 

Teaching Instructions

1. Teaching Instructions: These are program level teaching instructions. Use this to guide your staff on how you want the program to set up. You will have an opportunity to also add target specific teaching instruction on the next page. 
   
2. Tags:  are used to help with search and filtering when reviewing a learners program library. This becomes extra helpful when you have over a years worth of programming built in for your learner. Tags can also be used to help you categorize your programs. For example Home based verse School based or a program applicable to both settings. 
   
3. Learning Materials: add in virtual teaching materials that your staff can access during sessions. 

Targets

1. Measurement Tool: This is where you will select and set the data measurement type of the target. For example Trial-by-Trial, duration, interval, etc. To learn more about each type of data measurement tool CLICK HERE.
   
2. Phase: Just like the program phase, targets can have their own phases as well. Depending on the phase type you set your target to, it will either show on the App for your staff to collect data on or it will not. The phases options for Targets are the same as Programs.  
   
3. Target Name: This is where you will create your target names. The target should be the response you are look for the learner to engage in. For example if you are teaching colors, the target name might be Blue, if that is the color I am teaching to the learner. 
   
4. Discriminative Stimuli: This is what your staff should present to evoke a response from the learner. Sticking with the example of teaching colors, the Sd you enter here might be: Hold up 3d stimuli + say "What color is it?" 
   
5. Mastery Setting: You have two options to choose from, Manual or Automatic. 
   
1. Manual: this mean the target will stay in the phase you set it for until you go into the program and manually select to change the target phase. You can then add a phase line to the graph for that target.
   
2. Automatic: this ties into Outcomes and Promotions in which Welina will automatically change the phase of the target based on the mastery criteria you set in your outcome and promotion template (FEATURE COMING SOON). 
6. Target Instructions (Optional): If you have specific target instructions you want your staff to follow that differ from the program instruction, you can add them here.  

Editing Skills Acquisition Programs

1. Navigate to the clients Program Management Skill Acquisition tab 
   
2. Click on the edit icon for the program you want to edit 
3. Then use the navigation arrows at the bottom of the slide out to navigate to the page you want to edit.
