DRAGEN Academy · Free downloads · 103 PDFs · No email, no login
Free BCBA forms and data sheets.
What it is. Printable PDFs: data sheets, preference assessments, boards, plans, logs, every DRAGEN lesson, and family sheets in Spanish. All original DRAGEN work, free to print, copy and share for your own work, classroom or family.
Why it matters. A form without the method is just a grid. Every sheet here says how to use it, right on the page, and links to the free lesson that teaches it, so the numbers you collect mean something.
How to do it yourself
How to pick the right sheet yourself, in four questions.
- Are you measuring a behavior, or teaching a skill? A skill goes on a trial-by-trial sheet, a cold probe sheet, a task analysis sheet or a prompt level sheet.
- For a behavior, what’s the question? How often: the frequency sheet. How long: duration. How fast it starts: latency. Too fast or too blurry to count: interval recording. The measurement lesson walks through it.
- Don’t know when or why it happens? Start with the scatterplot to find the time of day, then take ABC data at those times, then the behavior interview and the four-functions quick-check.
- Don’t know what they’ll work for? Start with the reinforcer interview, then test the answers with the MSWO, paired-choice or free-play sheet.
Worked example
“He melts down all the time.”
A teacher says a student “melts down all the time.” Here is the order of sheets that turns that into a plan.
| Sheet | What it showed |
|---|---|
| Scatterplot, two weeks | Meltdowns cluster from 10:00 to 11:00. That’s math. |
| ABC data sheet, at 10:00 | Before: a worksheet. After: he’s sent to the calm corner, and the worksheet goes away. |
| Behavior interview | The aide agrees: it’s the worksheets, and the calm corner ends them. Best first guess: a break. |
| Duration sheet, one week | About 12 minutes of meltdown a day: the baseline. |
| Replacement plan and ask cards | A “Break, please” card that gets a short break the right way. |
| Blank graph | Minutes a day, week by week, with a phase line where the card started. |
Try it
One question, then the answer.
A made-up case: a parent says, “Bedtime takes forever.” Which sheet would you hand them?
Show the answer, and why
Latency or duration, depending on where the time goes. If getting started is the problem, use latency: the time from “Bedtime” to her first step toward bed. If the routine drags on, use duration: the time from the first step to lights out. Why: “forever” is a question about time, so a count won’t show it changing.
The sheets
Download, print, use. Every one is taught.
Each PDF opens with what it’s for and how to use it. “Learn it” opens the free lesson behind it.
Measure it
Frequency count sheet
Count a behavior that has a clear start and end, then turn the count into a rate so different days compare fairly.
Duration recording sheet
Time how long a behavior lasts, when how long matters more than how often.
Latency recording sheet
Time how long it takes to start after an instruction, when how fast it starts is the question.
Interval recording sheet
Estimate how much of a session a behavior fills, when it is too frequent or too blurry to count.
Scatterplot: when does it happen?
See the time of day a behavior clusters, over two weeks, before you look for why.
Trial-by-trial data sheet
Record each teaching trial as correct alone, an error, or prompted, and get a percent for each target.
Cold probe sheet
Check each target on the first try of the day, before any teaching, to see what the learner really knows.
Task analysis data sheet
Break a skill into steps and score each step each session, so you teach only the steps that are missing.
Prompt level data sheet
Write down how much help each try needed, so you can see the help fading toward alone.
IOA check sheet
Two observers, one sheet each: interval boxes and the three formulas.
Graph it
Blank graph: percent, 30 sessions
The standard ABA line graph for percent data, ready to fill in.
Blank graph: count or rate, 30 sessions
The standard ABA line graph for counts or rates. You write the scale.

Gather a family’s best guesses about what a child enjoys, to test in a preference assessment.
Behavior interview: what, when, and what happens after
Ask the people who know a learner best, to form a first guess about what a behavior is doing for them.
Teach it
Skill tracker: baseline to maintenance
Follow each target from its baseline to mastery, then check that it traveled and lasted.
First-then board
Show a small thing to do first and something wanted right after.
Picture schedule

The fine print, in plain words
What you can do with them.
- Free to print, copy and share for your own work, your classroom or your family. Not for resale.
- Original work. No published assessment protocols and no BACB forms are copied here. When a sheet borrows a method from a study, it names the study.
- Not affiliated with or endorsed by the BACB. No CEUs: DRAGEN is not an ACE provider.
- Once filled in, a sheet is a private record. Use initials or a code instead of a name, and store it like any record.
- They teach methods. They don’t replace your BCBA, your program, or your payer’s written rules.
Where DRAGEN helps
Free on paper, always here.
These stay free, and they work with nothing but a pencil. When the paper piles up, DRAGEN software does the arithmetic and the graphs on your own computer.
