FAQ
What is BEST School Behavior used for?
BEST School Behavior is designed to help educational professionals conduct functional behavior assessments (FBAs). It allows for the collection and analysis of behavioral data from direct observations and staff interviews, all within a single application.
How does BEST School Behavior handle student privacy?
Student privacy is a priority. Cases are identified by a user-chosen code of up to four characters, and the app does not request or store any personally identifiable student information.
Can multiple team members use BEST School Behavior for the same student?
Yes, the app supports team collaboration. You can share a case with colleagues via iCloud, granting them view-only or full editing access, which can be revoked at any time. This allows for simultaneous data collection on the same student.
What kind of data can be collected with BEST School Behavior?
You can record challenging and prosocial behaviors with exact timestamps, capture full ABC (antecedent, behavior, consequence) data, and conduct structured staff interviews covering strengths and behavior ratings. The app also allows for customization of antecedents, consequences, and behaviors.
Is there a cost to use BEST School Behavior?
The core functionality of BEST School Behavior, including unlimited case management and data collection, is free. However, advanced analysis features, such as weighted scoring and PDF report generation, require a subscription.
What happens to my data if my subscription lapses?
Your data is never held hostage. If a subscription lapses, all cases, observations, interviews, and notes remain accessible, and CSV export continues to function. Only the analysis page will become locked.
Can I use BEST School Behavior without my phone?
Yes, there is an Apple Watch companion app that allows you to record a full session directly from your wrist. This is particularly useful when holding a phone might influence the behavior being observed. Sessions automatically sync back to your iPhone.
How often is BEST School Behavior updated?
The latest version, 1.4.5, was released on September 8, 2026, indicating recent development activity. Updates typically focus on improving features, reliability, and user experience based on feedback and evolving needs in the education sector.
