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.

Experiad 将开发一种名为 Goalspace 的新型家长参与平台，该平台将促进家长 辅助应用行为分析（ABA）。目标空间有可能对自闭症产生重大影响 通过增加家长对 ABA 疗法的参与程度，在全球范围内推广治疗。对ABA的需求 服务远远超过容量。家长协助 ABA 是 ABA 的一个关键的循证组成部分。当他们 不能指望替代专业人士提供治疗，家长可以根据孩子的情况进行指导 行为分析师在治疗课程之外提供额外的机会来收集行为数据 并练习所获得的技能。然而，父母协助的 ABA 很难实现高保真度。 研究表明，即使经过大量培训，父母也经常偏离协议和纸质表格 都没有及时完成。当前的电子 ABA 数据收集系统很有希望，但 专为专业行为技术人员设计，不适合非专业人士使用。父母 需要与专业人士本质上不同的用户界面和参与模型。目标空间代表 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的类型 用户的数量，同时仍然提供对干预协议、内容和工作流程的完全控制。球门空间将 自动生成为行为技术人员设计的面向家长的程序版本，将 复杂的仪器和协议转化为适合家长的简化版本，并提供警报驱动 对父母手机的指导干预协议。
