Summary

This is a study funded by a Phase II SBIR to build and test the feasibility of a new software prototype for delivering evidence-based behavioral therapy treatment for autism. The software, called Motivity.net, will be used by behavioral therapy provider groups across the country to manage the intensive data collection and analysis workflow associated with Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) and related therapies, which are becoming standard-of-care treatment for children with autism.

Detailed description

This is a study funded by a Phase II SBIR to build and test the feasibility of a new software prototype for delivering evidence-based behavioral therapy treatment for autism. The software, called Motivity.net, will be used by behavioral therapy provider groups across the country to manage the intensive data collection and analysis workflow associated with Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) and related therapies, which are becoming standard-of-care treatment for children with autism. Experiad will conduct an 8-week within-subject pilot study of 6 BCBAs, 12 BTs and 12 children to answer product research questions about Motivity's ability to perform its intended functions, measuring the degree to which it allows interventionists to encode their models, achieve more efficient program management, improve communication, and increase responsiveness to a child's progress. Experiad will also use descriptive statistics to provide preliminary insight into the potential impact of the system on a child's performance in their ABA therapy.

Conditions

• Autistic Disorder

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Applied Behavioral Analysis	Children are receiving Applied Behavioral Analysis therapy to treat their autism. Therapy is comprised of 15-20 discrete programs that are intended to shape specific behaviors. Tutors collect data on child's performance towards goals. For each child, some of the programs will be tracked with paper data collection methods, others will use electronic data collection. This study is to test the usefulness of the electronic data collection system to replace paper in existing interventions.
