How to make a basic ABA line graph in excel

NOTE: The provided excel sheet is set up for you. You need to just insert the data from the Graphing Behavior Data document and create the intervention line (this separates the baseline from the intervention data). To do so, you select Insert -- Shapes --- Line. Then put that line on the graph where appropriate.

Graphing Baseline and Intervention Behavior Data

Scenario

You are a special education teacher working with Alex, a 3rd-grade student who exhibits out-of-seat behavior during independent work time. This behavior disrupts learning and makes it difficult for Alex to complete assignments.

Operational Definition:

Out-of-seat behavior is defined as any time Alex leaves his chair without permission from the teacher, paraprofessional, or other staff member (i.e., administration, occupational therapist) during independent work time.

Background Information

Before implementing an intervention, you collected baseline data for 5 school days during independent work time (30-minute sessions). After baseline, you introduced an intervention: a token reinforcement system where Alex earns a token for every 5 minutes he stays seated. You collected intervention data for 5 additional school days.

Baseline Data (Days 1–5):

Day 1: 12 times out of seat

Day 2: 10 times

Day 3: 11 times

Day 4: 13 times

Day 5: 12 times

Intervention Data (Days 6–10):

Day 6: 6 times

Day 7: 5 times

Day 8: 4 times

Day 9: 5 times

Day 10: 3 times

Instructions

Read the scenario carefully.

Select your preferred data collection method from the Data Collection Methods Packet (Event Recording, Duration, Latency, Interval Recording).

Convert the raw data into percentages if needed (e.g., for interval recording or duration).

Use the blank graph provided to plot the data:

Label the Xaxis with days (1–10).

Label the Yaxis with frequency or percentage (depending on your chosen method).

Use X for Alex’s data points.

Draw a line to connect baseline data points (Days 1–5) and another line for intervention data points (Days 6–10).

Analyze the graph: Does the intervention appear to reduce outofseat behavior?

In a two-paragraph response, please answer the following questions:

Why did you choose your data collection method?

How does the graph help you visualize the effectiveness of the intervention?

What additional data might you collect to confirm the trend?
