About

Based on proven techniques in operant conditioning, the expert behavior guiding functionality in GAINS to teach life skills will be evaluated. Behavior practitioners will develop task analyses that break down complex life skills into simpler component steps and then enter these tasks into the GAINS system. In a similar way to navigation systems for drivers, GAINS will provide behavioral navigation for caregivers implementing ABA therapy programs. Using the GAINS app on a tablet or smartphone, caregivers will receive automatically updated visual and audio behavioral guidance, that includes what to do, when to do it, and detailed step-by-step guidance on how to execute ABA therapy programs.
