There are several branch types in learning trees. The cumulative and data collection branches are used most frequently to build programming and analyze progress.

The different branch types are:

• Cumulative
  • Displays graph of goals mastered over time (Automatic-Indirect Data Collection).
  • Most commonly used for long term and short term goals.
  • Resources (e.g. videos, tests, forms, files, etc.) can also be added to this branch.
• Data Collection
  • Displays the standard data graph (Manual-Direct Data Collection).
  • Most commonly used for targets.
• Library
  • Ports programming from an existing learning tree library template into a new template.
• Resource
  • Typically only used with LMS.
  • The different types of resources include:
    • Pages: Additional placeholders 
    • Videos: Display of pre-recorded videos
    • Files: Document storage 
    • Q&A Test: Quizzes
    • Forms: Checklists 
  • Please note, Resource branches only show the branch description and comments in the session. Attaching a second-tier, short term goal will display the targets ordered below it in the session. However, adding any information to the “Branch Description” will show on the Resource page.

Combined graphs are “session types” used for data collection and are listed under the “data type” in the Learn module.

To use “combined graph:”

1. Set up other target branches and take data on the other data collection branches first
2. Use “combined graph” to select the other data collection branches, and compare multiple data paths on one graph
   • This is an additional target to set up for a combined graph

The following users can edit active session date/times:

• Org accounts
  • Can edit session times of a session another user started
• Anyone with access that has collected time
  • For example, if user A collects time and user B opens the session without collecting data, user B cannot edit the session time

The Goals List is a premium feature that can be accessed by navigating to the Clinical module and then selecting Goals List. View a snapshot of how all of your clients’ goals and targets are progressing, by filtering the list using the search bar, or clicking the funnel icon to the right of the Clients and Goal columns.

The Goals list includes the following columns:

• Type: long term, short term, or target level
• Status: on hold, not active, in progress, met, or discontinued
• Domain: chosen domain from that branches goals details menu
• Phase: current phase for all data collection branches. This column will be empty for all levels designated as cumulative goals
• Date Initiated: date goals were put into progress
• Progress: number of sub branches that are mastered
  • For example, “9 of 11” means that 9 out of 11 goals are marked “mastered” in the client book
• % Completion: equals the number of mastered targets/total targets X 100
• Graph: view target goals
  • Method: data collection type for each target
    • Baseline: average score for target
    • Intervention: average intervention score for target
      • Count: number of data points graphed in intervention
  • Trend: mathematical trend of graphed data
    • Green: a desired trend (E.g. increasing skill acquisition and decreasing behavior reduction)
    • Red: an undesired trend (E.g. decreasing skill acquisition and increasing behavior reduction)
    • Yellow: not an increasing or decreasing trend
  • Score: last graphed entry for target

Group Sessions is a premium feature that allows you to create single-use sessions for individual clients or Classrooms for continuous sessions with 2-6 clients. Classrooms are created and saved over time under group sessions for students who are continuously paired together and allow quick access to start a social skills group, a lunch bunch, or other paired situations.

Organizations use Learning Tree labels to label branches with keywords or phrases, making it easier to search and filter through the Goals List. Also, labels help organizations effectively conduct quality control reports on programming.

• Examples of Learning Tree labels are:
  • High Intensity Aggression
  • Core Skills
  • Toileting

Learning Tree labels carry over when:

• Copying a branch in a client’s learning tree
• Pulling over branches from library templates that have Learning Tree labels
  • Labels will carry over into your client’s personal learning tree

When creating or editing a learning tree, the following access and sharing options are available to control who can view or edit the learning tree:

• Can Edit: allows the user to view and modify anything within the tree
• Read Only: grants the user access to the tree, but will not allow them to make any modifications
• Remove Access: click the trash can  icon next to any contact to remove them from the tree

Learning Trees are clients’ program books or binders and can be accessed and built by navigating to the Clinical module and selecting Learning Trees.

1. Learning trees allow clinicians to:
   • Develop custom programming
   • Modify existing curriculum templates
   • Automate graphing and adjustment of visual displays
   • Entry of Phase Changes, Event, & Goal Lines

2. The learning tree structure serves three different functions:

• Clinical
  • Learning trees in the clinical section are used as program books for specific clients. They become part of a client’s personal medical records and cannot be shared or reproduced
• Courses
  • Learning trees in the Courses & Trainings section are used to create CEU courses, or staff training for employees of an agency. Employee progress can be tracked, and certificates of completion can be generated
• Library Templates
  • Learning trees in the library section are generic program templates that can be used repeatedly and either assigned to a client, or imported into a client learning tree, and then modified to meet individual needs. These are most often used to create goal banks in an agency

Sessions are CentralReach’s electronic Data Sheets and can be accessed by navigating to the Clinical module and selecting Sessions.

Here, therapists can:

• Access a session timer and see all of the targets a client is currently working on
• Take data on the targets, according to the prompting and data collection types you establish
• See instructional notes on each target
• Write comments about each target
• Graph and see graphed data on the most recent data points and prompts used
• Pin targets (like ABC data collection targets) to one location for easy access

When adding a video resource branch type to a Learning Tree, there are four options to choose from:

• Upload: upload a file from your computer. The maximum size is 1GB
• YouTube: you will be prompted to enter a YouTube ID. The YouTube ID is included within the URL of the YouTube video you are adding to the branch, and is the value of the last section of the URL after the equal (=) sign
  • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7K5d5C_xvro
    • YouTube ID: 7K5d5C_xvro
• Vimeo: similar to YouTube, you will be prompted to enter a Vimeo ID. The ID is included within the URL of the Vimeo video you are adding to the branch, and is the value of the last section of the URL after the (/) sign
  • https://www.vimeo.com/VIMEO-ID
• Existing Resource: an item from the Resources module
