This article applies to Motivity Clinical. It explains how to add an intervention or phase, shown as a phase change line, to individual targets.
If you have created a set of multiple similar targets (previously known as uniform targets), you can add an additional intervention or phase to individual targets at any time, without affecting the others.
For example, if you notice that your learner is not making progress on one or more targets within an existing program, you may decide to introduce an additional intervention, such as an isolated reinforcer or a specific prompting strategy, for those targets only.
This intervention can be added as a new phase and will be represented by a phase change line on the graph, allowing you to monitor its impact on the learner’s progress.
Here are the steps for how you would set this up:
1. Open the program editor and navigate to the "phases" section.

2. Clone the train phase. Then, under properties, rename it utilizing a custom train phase. We'd recommend naming it whatever phase name you'd like to show on the graph. Then, move the phase to the bottom of the list of phases.

3. Open your new phase and navigate to the "transitions" section. Below you will see the two recommended transition rules for these cases:
-If you would like the target to be manually transitioned out of this phase (i.e. a BCBA will monitor the progress and determine when the target can go back to the regular train phase), utilize this configuration (basic; target does not transition):

If you would like your target to automatically transition back to the original train phase after a certain # of successful sessions, use this configuration:

4. Next, you can make any additional changes to the program that you deem necessary, such as instructions or measures, and click "update".
5. Go to the target's graph, and manually transition it to the new phase by clicking in the top right-hand corner of the graph, selecting the new phase, and clicking "transition."

You will now see that there is a corresponding phase change line on the graph!
