Author versioned task steps and see independent, assisted, unsuccessful, no-opportunity and missing observations separately.
How to use this tool
Use this task-analysis tracker to learn how individual steps and support levels are recorded across observations.
Define the steps and the scoring rule for a fictional task.
Enter one step observation per row with its observation ID, task version, step order and result or support status.
Review independence, support, interruptions and missing records separately before exporting.
Fictional example and how to read the result
A four-step task with two independent steps is different from a task where only two steps were observed. Keep unobserved steps explicit.
The summary retains step-level records. An interruption or missing observation does not establish inability to complete a step.
Preserve the underlying steps
Each row represents one step in one observation. Repeat the complete ordered step list for every observation; an omitted or blank result remains missing.
Independent percentage is independent ÷ (independent + assisted + unsuccessful) × 100. No opportunity, not observed and missing are excluded from that denominator and shown separately.
Insert, remove, reword or reorder steps under a new version. Versions are reported separately. Contradictory definitions or duplicate results suppress the version summary until corrected.
The linked UNC resource concerns a defined autism population. It supports careful step/support recording; it does not establish effectiveness for every therapy activity.
Write one observable action per step.
Define allowed supports before collecting results.
Record all five states honestly; absence of a record is not failure.
Print the detail matrix to review individual steps rather than only an aggregate percentage.
A report can expand to at most 10,000 step-by-observation cells. Split a sparse or long-running dataset into separate observation ranges before analysing it; source entries remain available for download.
What to enter in each field
Chosen task / activity: Name the agreed activity being broken into steps, such as preparing a bag. This label appears with the step report.
Shared context and supports: Describe the shared setting, materials and permitted supports. Use the same conditions within a step-list version.
Support and scoring definitions: Define independent, assisted and unsuccessful results before recording. Explain no-opportunity and not-observed so missing evidence is not scored as failure.
Observation ID: Use the same anonymous observation ID for every step recorded in one session. Repeat the complete step list for each observation.
Step-list version: Use a version such as v1. Any change to step wording, number or order needs a new version; percentages stay separate between versions.
Step order: Enter consecutive whole numbers starting at 1 for this version. The same numbered step must retain the same wording in every observation.
Observable step: Write one visible action, such as closing the bag. Use identical wording for the same version and step order.
Step result: Choose independent, assisted or unsuccessful for an observed opportunity; no-opportunity when the activity could not be attempted; not-observed when the observer did not see it. Blank remains missing, not unsuccessful.
Anonymous note: Optional: describe a support or interruption anonymously. Use this to explain why an opportunity or observation was unavailable.
