Method and apparatus for developing a person's behavior
First Claim
1. An apparatus for developing a person'"'"'s behavior, comprising:
- a processor and one or more storage devices storing instructions that are operable, when executed by the processor, to generate a graphical user interface (GUI) configured to display;
at least one electronically adjustable template configured to be adjusted by a caregiver to display a given visual behavior indicator to a person at any one time, the given visual behavior indicator (i) selected from a plurality of visual behavior indicators retrievable from an electronic database communicatively coupled to or within the apparatus and (ii) representing a behavior desired of the person viewing the given visual behavior indicator; and
at least two additional electronically adjustable templates, viewable with the given visual behavior indicator, the additional electronically adjustable templates configured to be adjusted by the person or the caregiver to display visual choice indicators from a plurality of visual choice indicators retrievable from the communicatively coupled electronic database and representing choices available to the person, the plurality of visual choice indicators enabled to be constrained by the caregiver as a function of respective visual behavior indicators, the adjustability of the templates to display the plurality of visual choice indicators assisting the person in developing the person'"'"'s behavior by constraining the person to choose (i) an appropriately adaptive response supporting the selected desired behavior or (ii) an alternative behavior to behavior that is contrary to the desired behavior.

Abstract
An embodiment of an apparatus, or corresponding method, for developing a person'"'"'s behavior according to the principles of the present invention comprises at least one visual behavior indicator that represents a behavior desired of a person viewing the at least one visual behavior indicator. The apparatus, or corresponding method, further includes at least two visual choice indicators viewable with the at least one visual behavior indicator that represent choices available to the person, the choices assisting in developing the behavior in the person by assisting the person in choosing an appropriately adaptive response supporting the desired behavior or as an alternative to behavior contrary to the desired behavior.

27. A method of developing a person'"'"'s behavior through use of a processor and one or more storage devices configured to store instructions that are operable when executed by the processor to generate a graphical user interface (GUI), the method comprising:
-
presenting, via the GUI, a given visual behavior indicator selected by a caregiver, of at least one adjustable template, the at least one adjustable template including a plurality of visual behavior indicators, to a person viewing the template, the visual behavior indicators representing behaviors desired of the person; and enabling, via the GUI, at least two additional adjustable templates to be adjustable by the person or the caregiver, the additional adjustable templates including a plurality of visual choice indicators that represent choices available to the person, the plurality of visual choice indicators enabled to be constrained by the caregiver as a function of respective visual behavior indicators, the person'"'"'s or caregiver'"'"'s adjustment of the templates to display particular visual choice indicators assisting in developing the person'"'"'s behavior by (i) assisting the person in choosing an appropriately adaptive response supporting the selected desired behavior or (ii) by presenting an alternative behavior to behavior that is contrary to the desired behavior. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38)
