ABA Therapy Platform

Overview

This case study encapsulates an design challenge I completed for an Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) software company, where I invested 8 hours of effort. The company's name has been removed for confidentiality.

The ABA Platforn aims to revolutionize how Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Behavior Therapists (BTs) manage clients, set goals, and monitor progress.

Problem

In the current landscape of the ABA practice industry, a notable deficiency exists as many practices heavily rely on manual tracking methods using pen and paper. This outdated approach poses significant challenges, making it difficult for Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) to reliably collect data, manage clients, and effectively track progress. The absence of technological solutions hampers the industry's potential for streamlined operations and optimized client care.

Solution

The ABA app is introduced as a transformative solution to address the challenges prevalent in the ABA practice industry. This innovative platform offers Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) a comprehensive toolset to efficiently manage clients, including features for adding diagnoses, creating behavior and skill goals, and tracking progress. By modernizing data collection and management processes, the ABA app revolutionizes how practitioners approach Applied Behavior Analysis, bringing forth a tech-driven solution to enhance overall efficiency and effectiveness in client care.
