Patrick Harold

Spectrum Business Solutions developed a mobile data collection solution for Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA). Using a smart phone or tablet student information can be collected in real-time by special educators. Working with us as a consultant, Brian provided all of the data elements that need to be aggregated over time to build a useful profile of student progress and to reveal what interventions are required. Brian also helped develop a paper data collection instruments. These personalized documents are used to capture student behavior throughout the day. Batches of completed forms are then scanned saving hours of work tabulating and analyzing data. Brian's experience working with a wide variety of students helped Spectrum produce valuable tools that help special educators inform instruction and plans.
