Every skill has a best way to teach it.
We want BCBAs to know how long a skill will take to teach, and which way teaches it fastest.
Acquire already reports days to mastery.
Median trials and days to mastery for each skill, today.
Programming still runs on memory.
An ABA program is a long chain of small decisions. Too often each one waits on a spreadsheet or someone remembering to look. Acquire answers each of these today.
Less programming.
Programming fills the BCBA's week. Steps, criteria, probes and graphs take hours that belong to clients.
An unmet assessment milestone can become a target, with its benchmark steps and mastery criterion. Mastered skills come back as maintenance probes on a schedule.
Clear priorities.
Targets wait for someone to look. A stalled skill, a rising behavior or a mastered target sits until someone reads the graph.
Clinical Review ranks the targets and behaviors that need a BCBA. A mastered target or a failed baseline reaches the BCBA's dashboard the same day.
A visible history.
Decisions leave no trail. The reason sits in someone's head, so the center can't show a family or a payer why.
A BCBA can mark a change on the target's graph, and the audit log records who changed what, when and from where. The session note payers ask for starts from the session's own records.
Connected care.
The tools get in the way. Data, graphs and programs live in different places, and the BCBA stitches them together.
The dashboard opens on what needs the BCBA. RBTs record each trial with one tap on the iPad, even offline, and the BCBA reads it on the web.
The answer starts with consistent data.
What a prediction needs
Predicting how long a skill takes needs data that means the same thing for every learner. In Acquire, a skill has one definition across a center, and every trial is recorded.
What Acquire records today
Acquire already reports median trials and days to mastery for each skill. Estimates will rest on clinical history, never on age, sex or language.
