Which term refers to data review, updated at regular intervals with observation/conclusion regarding the effectiveness of the intervention plan?

• A. Assessment of effectiveness
• B. Specific goal
• C. Measurement procedures
• D. Description of target response

Answer: (A)

Regularly reviewing data and drawing conclusions about whether the intervention is producing the desired change is about assessing effectiveness. In progress monitoring, you collect data on the target behavior, observe trends over time, and decide if the current plan is working or if adjustments are needed. This distinguishes it from simply naming a specific goal (which states what you want to achieve), from describing the target response (what behavior counts), or from outlining measurement procedures (how you collect the data). For example, if the data show a steady increase in the target behavior after the intervention is applied, you can conclude the plan is effective; if the data do not improve, you would consider modifying the approach.
