Abstract

There is disclosed a system and method for managing applied behavioural analysis (ABA) therapies. In an embodiment, the method comprises: recording a video stream for a training session having a plurality of stimulus-response events; receiving an assessment for each stimulus-response event based on the subject'"'"'s interaction with or response to the stimulus; time stamping the assessed stimulus-response event in the video stream and identifying the stimulus used at the time of assessing each stimulus-response event; and providing a user interface including one or more of the assessed stimulus-response events for selection.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method for managing interactive training, comprising:

recording a video stream for a training session having a plurality of stimulus-response events;

receiving an assessment for each stimulus-response event based on the subject'"'"'s interaction with or response to the stimulus;

time stamping the assessed stimulus-response event in the video stream and identifying the stimulus used at the time of assessing each stimulus-response event; and

providing a user interface including one or more of the assessed stimulus-response events for selection.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising, upon selection of a time stamped stimulus-response event, queuing the video stream at the start of the stimulus-response event for playback of the corresponding video stream together with the stimulus.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising displaying the user interface on a display at a location remote from the training session for the remote playback of video streams of the training session.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising recording the location of the training session and the identity of an on-site trainer performing the stimulus-response assessment.

5. The method of claim 4, further comprising providing bi-directional communications between an on-site trainer'"'"'s computing device and an off-site trainer'"'"'s computing device to facilitate discussion of an assessment of one or more stimulus-response events, thereby to provide a collaborative environment for assessing the performance of the subject.

6. The method of claim 5, further comprising recording the bi-directional communications between the on-site trainer and the off-site trainer to the subject'"'"'s file to provide a complete record of the assessment of the training session.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising tracking the assessment of stimulus-response events by the on-site trainer, and providing a graphic representation of the performance of the subject when trained by the on-site trainer, thereby to identify differences in performance of the subject when interacting with different on-site trainers.

8. A computer-implemented system for managing interactive training, comprising:

means for recording a video stream for a training session having a plurality of stimulus-response events;

means for receiving an assessment for each stimulus-response event based on the subject'"'"'s interaction with or response to a stimulus;

means for time stamping the assessed stimulus-response event in the video stream and identifying the stimulus used at the time of assessing each stimulus-response event; and

means for providing a user interface including one or more of the assessed stimulus-response events for selection.

9. The system of claim 8, further comprising means for queuing the video stream, upon selection of a time stamped stimulus-response event, at the start of the stimulus-response event for playback of the corresponding video stream together with the stimulus.

10. The system of claim 9, further comprising means for displaying the user interface on a display at a location remote from the training session for the remote playback of video streams of the training session.

11. The system of claim 8, further comprising means for recording the location of the training session and the identity of an on-site trainer performing the stimulus-response assessment.

12. The system of claim 11, further comprising means for providing bi-directional communications between an on-site trainer'"'"'s computing device and an off-site trainer'"'"'s computing device to facilitate discussion of the assessment of one or more stimulus-response events, thereby to provide a collaborative environment for assessing the performance of the subject.

13. The system of claim 12, further comprising means for recording the bi-directional communications between the on-site trainer and the off-site trainer to the subject'"'"'s file to provide a complete record of the assessment of the training session.

14. The system of claim 8, further comprising means for tracking the assessment of stimulus-response events by the on-site trainer, and providing a graphic representation of the performance of the subject when trained by the on-site trainer, thereby to identify differences in performance of the subject when interacting with different on-site trainers.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer readable code that when executed on one or more computing devices adapts the devices to perform a method for managing interactive training, the non-transitory computer readable medium comprising:

code for recording a video stream for a training session with a plurality of stimulus-response events;

code for receiving an assessment for each stimulus-response event based on the subject'"'"'s interaction with or response to a stimulus;

code for time stamping the assessed stimulus-response event in the video stream and identifying the stimulus used at the time of assessing each stimulus-response event; and

code for providing a user interface including one or more of the assessed stimulus-response events for selection.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15, further comprising code for queuing, upon selection of a time stamped stimulus-response event, the video stream at the start of the stimulus-response event for playback of the corresponding video stream together with the stimulus.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16, further comprising code for displaying the user interface on a display at a location remote from the training session for the remote playback of video streams of the training session.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15, further comprising code for recording the location of the training session and the identity of an on-site trainer performing the stimulus-response assessment.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15, further comprising code for providing bi-directional communications between an on-site trainer'"'"'s computing device and an off-site trainer'"'"'s computing device to facilitate discussion of one or more stimulus-response assessment events, thereby to provide a collaborative environment for assessing the performance of the subject.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 19, further comprising code for recording the bi-directional communications between the on-site trainer and the off-site trainer to the subject'"'"'s file to provide a complete record of the assessment of the training session.

21. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 19, further comprising code for tracking the assessment of stimulus-response events by the on-site trainer, and providing a graphic representation of the performance of the subject when trained by the on-site trainer, thereby to identify differences in performance of the subject when interacting with different on-site trainers.
