The intervention is the dependent variable.
We do not want to change our practice. Rather, we want to administer and measure the outcomes of our intervention in a systematic way.
Determine the intervention that you will provide, with careful consideration of:
- The context in which the intervention will be delivered
- The nature of the intervention
- The consistency of the intervention
- The frequency, intensity, and duration of the intervention
Activity
Now that you have defined your dependent (target behaviour) and independent (intervention) variables, plot them on a graph. If possible, collect real-life data for the client you are working with and plot these data points on the graph.
