We support the growing number of families affected
with Special Needs / Autism Spectrum Disorders by providing user defined, user configured, home / school based technology
solutions that promote individual safety and behavior management through real-time data capture, information management, and
evaluation.
The
A Deeper View 'KIHd System' accurately measures improvement or regression for current goals and objectives, while
showcasing Prompts, Secondary Behaviors, and Reinforcers, and graphing them in real time.
Why We Do It
Data-based decision making is a key element in special educational and therapy programs for children with
disabilities.
It is the basis for applied behavioral analysis (ABA), Response
to Intervention (RtI), positive behavioral support, and curriculum based measurement programs.
Parents, educators
and therapists need to be able to analyze and interpret instructional, social and behavioral data so they know if they are
meeting students / patients needs.
How We Do It
The A Deeper View 'KIHd System'
is a web access data capture, data management, report generation tool to document Antecedents, Behaviors,
and Consequence patterns.
These patterns are easy to evaluate by measuring the: Accuracy,
Frequency, Fluency, Latency, Duration, Quality, Intensity, Reinforcers, Secondary Behaviors, and Anecdotal
Notes for each session. This information is presented in 'easy to read': line, bar,
and pie graphs, and the raw data can be exported to an excel spreadsheet for further analysis.
The
system is hosted in a secure data center and all data between the host and the data collector is encrypted.
Where
Did It Come From
The Kellar Instructional Handheld Data (KIHd) System
was developed over a 5 year period at George Mason University's Kellar Institute for Human Disabilities. Funding the development
of the system was a U.S.D.O.E. Stepping Stones of Technology Grant. G.M.U. has US Patent Application #US27180428A1
In June 2008
Michael Darden, President of A Deeper View and a parent with two special needs children licensed the rights to market the
KIHd system around the world.
Michael
and the staff at A Deeper View have made many enhancements to the system, including the ability to collect data using an IPod
Touch or other web access device. The team also introduced the capability to extract data from Windows Media clips.
Where Data Makes The Difference!
