No More Clip Boards! No More Timers! No More Laminated Velcro Boards! Decrease Disruptive & Challenging Behaviors!

Behavior Boost is an app designed to decrease a variety of behaviors for individuals on the autism spectrum. Created by a parent of a child on the autism spectrum and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) to manage challenging behaviors while using proven reinforcement procedures.

With this app you will be able to program your own behavior that you would like to decrease, you will also be able to choose the "better" behavior to increase, choose the best reinforcement system, choose the most effective reinforcer, and choose the amount of time the program will run for. The built in timer allows for the individual to see when reinforcement can be achieved!

All of these features are displayed visually for the individual to see and are all in ONE PLACE! Behavior Boost even calculates the most effective time interval for your program.

Reinforcement systems are proven methods that can be used to increase or decrease positive or negative behaviors. The Behavior Boost app lets you choose from various types of effective reinforcement systems. The most common and data based on systems include; Differential Reinforcement of Other behaviors (DRO), Differential Reinforcement of Alternative behaviors (DRA), Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible behaviors (DRI), and Differential Reinforcement of Lower Rates of behavior (DRL).

Each reinforcement system can be programmed and customized for each individual. If one of the preloaded behaviors or reinforcers are not there you have the option to add your own so it will be the most effective for that individual. You also have the option to load your own images for even further customization.

**Get rid of bulky clipboards

** Use the most effective and research based reinforcement systems to decrease challenging behaviors
