We developed this application with input from the ABAtherapistthat we hired. Our family has been using the applicationfor a yearnow, prompting UI improvements and featuredevelopment.

Although this application and the behavior plan was developedfora child with autism, it also works on our child that doesn'thaveautism.

IMPORTANT: Selecting an image icon for a child can cause anoutof memory error, depending on the memory available in yourdeviceand the size of the image. The optimum image icon is 72 x72pixels.

Features:

The application supports up to three children.

Flick the child's picture icon up toward their bank to givethema token, and the app congratulates your child and tells themhowmany tokens that they have earned.

Long press on the child's bank to add or subtract money astheyearn bonuses or make purchases.

Drag the child's picture icon to yellow to put the childinyellow, and the app warns the child to stay calm andfollowdirections.

Drag the child's picture icon to red to put the child in red,andthe app lets the child know that they're on red. Theappautomatically puts the child into yellow when the red timer isup,and tells the child to apologize and restore theenvironment.
