SMART SPACES: A backbone to manage ABA intervention in autism across settings and digital learning platforms

Applied Behavior Analysis is the golden standard of treatment for autism interventions. Contemporary cloud based technology offers new opportunities to bring ABA programs for autistic children at a more sophisticated level than was once imagined. ABA interventions might benefit in terms of continuity and treatment integrity, effectiveness and cost reduction, and offer different or more articulated personalized trainings to fit the autistic child behavioral profile. Cloud based services offer a chance to "follow" the child with different tools to record his progresses, to verify consistencies in the application of ABA programs. Specifically programmed hardware can directly interact with the child to offer, whenever possible, interactions to evolve the child’s cognitive, emotional, social and linguistic skill or they can assist skilled or unskilled adults (technicians, parents, relatives, family to name a few) to deliver ABA programs.
