      4. For the first trial click + if the parent engaged in the child's play. Click + if no emerging problem behaviors were observed, and click + if adult teaching integrity was perfect. In the later steps, more tasks will be added to the chain.

      If you skip a task in the chain, it will automatically be recorded as a negative.

      5. When you have observed approximately 5 trials, you can click , and you will see a summary of the trials.

      2. Select the blue button on thee bottom of the instructions that says "Finish Step X and Move to Step Y").
      3. The program will automatically progress your learner to the next step, adjusting the open targets as needed, adding phase change lines to your graphs, and progressing the instructions for both parents and professionals
