Tool guide
Learn more about this tool
Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.
What It Captures
It captures task details and, when logging is enabled, whether the task was attempted, whether it was completed as intended, and what the client reported learning.
Limitations
It is not the hierarchy builder and not a repeated practice trend log. It does not determine safety, invent distress scales, or advance the client automatically.
Can this assignment be created from a hierarchy target?
Yes. It can be linked to an existing hierarchy target or created as a standalone task.
Does every assignment collect post-task data?
No. The practitioner can require completion/learning logging or provide instructions only.
Does the tool decide the next exposure step?
No. It shows assignment and logged information for practitioner review; next-step decisions remain with the practitioner.
