After spending some time with John Orme and Terri Combs-Orme at CSWE in Dallas this past November, we thought that it would be a good idea to add a goal line to our graphing functions. What does a goal line represent? It displays a personal goal that you're aiming for in your work with your client/student/patient.
Here's an example for you:
Bobby is a child who is throwing temper tantrums at school. The ultimate goal would be, of course, to eliminate these completely, but a shorter term objective is to decrease the tantrums to no more than one a day. We can now visualize this:
By adding a goal line, we can see that in the baseline, Bobby met this goal three times, but met it or exceeded it fourteen times in the intervention.
If you haven't downloaded the newest version of SSD for R, do it now so you can use this slick new function!
