Review how to set up an ABC Data Collection Program in Hi Rasmus and review the collected data
Setting up an ABC Data Collection Program for a Learner
NOTE: Each learner can only have one ABC Data Collection program assigned to them!
Program Setup
Before you can gather Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence data during a session, a Behavior Incidents program must be created.
Antecedents, target behaviors, and consequences can be added within this program for simple, easy documentation during sessions.
- Instructions Tab
Objective - In this space, you can document an overall goal for your client from ABC observations.
- Targets
Groups - Add three groups titled: Antecedents, Behaviors, and Consequences. To do so, simply select Add Group and enter the category title. You can also choose to call these groups something else entirely!

ABC data can be collected any time while a session is running, and it can also be collected on a client's profile when a session is not currently in play. Simply select the
*Unlike other programs, the ABC data is not specifically linked to a particular session. As this component is present across all environments, once you've created your ABC program, you do not need to specifically add it to any of your scheduled sessions.
How do I view ABC Data?:
To view ABC data you will need to go to the Progress tab on the left side of your Hi Rasmus account:
Next, Scroll down on the progress page until you see Behavior Incidents (ABC):
