DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We will develop and evaluate a tool designed to support the collection of rich data for performing a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) in schools to support the development of intervention plans for children with special needs, specifically children with autism (CWA). The proposed archiving system will permit educators to record only those data or behaviors judged to be important for later retrieval and review. The "experience buffers" described provide an alternative for recording that is a trade-off between cryptic note-taking that may not capture critical information and 100% recording that is time-consuming because of the need to review a mass of information to locate the required critical data. In phase I, we will modify our preliminary system for use in a school environment with the aid of advice from focus groups, explore the potential privacy/legal hurdles, assess feasibility in a small pilot study, and verify the results. In phase II, we will evaluate the system in a more rigorous manner, applying it to the study of a large CWA population and comparing outcomes using a more traditional method of record-keeping. The commercial potential of our system is high given the large and increasing incidence of autism that is treated both in the home and in school environments. Beyond that, successful demonstration in the CWA population should make this system attractive in other applications that depend on in-depth analysis by educators.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们将开发和评估一种工具，旨在支持收集丰富的数据以在学校进行功能行​​为评估（FBA），以支持为有特殊需要的儿童（特别是自闭症儿童）制定干预计划（CWA）。拟议的存档系统将允许教育工作者仅记录那些被认为对以后检索和审查重要的数据或行为。所描述的“体验缓冲区”提供了一种记录替代方案，它是在可能无法捕获关键信息的神秘笔记和由于需要查看大量信息来定位关键信息而耗时的 100% 记录之间进行权衡。所需的关键数据。在第一阶段，我们将在焦点小组的建议的帮助下修改我们在学校环境中使用的初步系统，探索潜在的隐私/法律障碍，评估小型试点研究的可行性，并验证结果。在第二阶段，我们将以更严格的方式评估该系统，将其应用于大量 CWA 人群的研究，并使用更传统的记录保存方法比较结果。鉴于在家庭和学校环境中治疗的自闭症发病率很高且不断增加，我们系统的商业潜力很高。除此之外，在 CWA 人群中的成功演示应该会使该系统在其他依赖于教育工作者深入分析的应用中具有吸引力。
