Collaborative Role
Practitioner and parent co-create definitions. Parents contribute real-world examples and confirm whether they can recognize the target at home.
Target Behavior Definition
Target Behavior Definition is a collaborative parent management training tool for practitioners and families. Practitioners use it to turn broad child behavior concerns into a limited set of measurable, observable target behaviors that parents can recognize during home practice.

Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.
Version History
Once targets are used for tracking, later wording changes should create a revised definition or new version to preserve comparability.
Limitations
The tool does not create a full behavior-change plan, reinforcement system, tracking chart, diagnosis, or intervention protocol.
Does this tool choose which behaviors the family should target?
No. The practitioner and family select targets; the tool helps define them in observable terms.
Can parents use the definitions?
Yes. Parents see the finalized target definitions and confirm whether they can recognize the behaviors at home.
What if a target is too vague?
It remains a draft until the definition is specific enough to support recognition and repeated measurement.
What is saved?
The tool itself and selected setup are saved. Fictional sample concerns and target definitions are not saved as real client data.
