Goalspace: A Platform for Parent-Assisted Behavioral Interventions

Experiad将开发一种新型的家长参与平台，称为Goalspace，这将有助于家长- 应用行为分析（阿坝）Goalspace有可能对自闭症产生重大影响 通过增加家长参与阿坝治疗的数量，在全球范围内提供治疗。阿坝需求 服务远远超过能力。父母协助阿坝是阿坝的一个关键的循证组成部分。虽然他们 不能指望在提供治疗方面取代专业人员，父母可以由孩子的指导， 行为分析师提供治疗会话之外的其他机会来收集行为数据 和实践技能。然而，父母辅助阿坝是具有挑战性的，以实现高保真。 研究表明，即使有重要的培训，家长经常偏离协议，和纸形式 没有及时完成。目前的电子阿坝数据收集系统有希望，但 专为专业行为技术人员设计，不适合非专业人员使用。父母 与专业人士相比，需要本质上不同的用户界面和参与模式。Goalspace代表 一种新型的参与平台，使行为分析师能够有效地支持这些不同类型的行为 同时仍然提供对干预协议、内容和工作流程的完全控制。Goalspace将 自动生成面向父母的版本的程序设计的行为技术人员，转换 将复杂的仪器和方案转化为适合父母的简化版本，并提供警报驱动的 引导干预协议到父母的移动的电话上。

Experiad will develop a new type of parent engagement platform, called Goalspace, which will facilitate parent- assisted Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). Goalspace has the potential to have a major impact on autism treatment worldwide by increasing the amount of parent engagement in ABA therapy. Demand for ABA services far exceeds capacity. Parent-assisted ABA is a key evidence-based component of ABA. While they cannot be expected to replace professionals in delivering treatment, parents can be directed by the child’s Behavior Analyst to provide additional opportunities outside of the therapy sessions to collect behavior data and practice skills being acquired. However, parent-assisted ABA is challenging to achieve in high fidelity. Research shows that even with significant training, parents frequently digress from protocol, and paper forms are not completed in a timely fashion. Current electronic ABA data collection systems hold promise but are designed for professional Behavior Technicians and are not suited for use by non-professionals. Parents require inherently different user interfaces and engagement models than professionals. Goalspace represents a new type of engagement platform that will allow Behavior Analysts to efficiently support these divergent types of users, while still providing full control over the intervention protocols, content, and workflow. Goalspace will automatically generate parent-facing versions of programs designed for Behavior Technicians, converting complex instruments and protocols into streamlined versions suitable for parents, and deliver alert-driven guided intervention protocols to parents’ mobile phones.
