What are the different result options used in data collection?

When collecting data during a session, you can use the following four result options to track a client's progress:

• ‘+’ (Pass): Client consistently met the criterion for the step
• ‘+/-’ (Inconsistent): Client met the criterion some of the time for the step
• '-' (Fail): Client did not meet the criterion for the step
• ‘NC’: The client refused to follow an antecedent despite appearing to understand it e.g., when asked to put on shoes, the client runs away, suggesting they understood the instruction but chose not to follow it
