GAINS® vs PlusDaily

Guiding Technologies, a spin-off of Temple University, is building technology to convert expertise into expert guidance. GAINS® (Guidance, Assessment, and Information System), which runs on tablets and phones, is powered by expert guiding software that uniquely incorporates knowledge of techniques used in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Therapy, Speech Language Therapy (SLT), and Occupational Therapy (OT). GAINS assists instructors and caregivers to help mitigate developmental challenges due to Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), intellectual disabilities (ID), and neuro-related disabilities such as speech loss due to strokes. While GAINS® reduces the burdens of data collection and automates report generation, it is not merely a data collection app. Like Google Maps that guides you step-by-step and updates as you go along, GAINS® guides instructors and caregivers to provide quality instruction and adapts to the learner’s progress on the fly.

With PlusDaily, students' behavior can be assessed every day and then directly evaluated: In text form, in the form of figures or even graphically. Based on this data, support can then be adjusted or even set up in the first place. Also good for discussions with parents, psychologists or other teachers. Children with different goals can be created and edited at any time, several behavioral data per day can be entered and then output. Data can also be exported in the form of .csv data so that the app can also be used for research purposes.
