Like recording any Autism ABA data, recording Duration data manually is a very tedious, time consuming and complex activity. Instead of spending quality time with their students, the therapists would have to keep an eye constantly on this data recording.

The complex tasks of keeping track of the total duration, number of episodes, total duration in each behavior and calculation of duration percentage for each behavior have all been made simpler with this Duration Data recording app.

ABA Duration Data Recording app does 5 basic things:

1. The Main timer will keep track of the total duration of therapy in minutes and seconds.

2. The Behavior timers can be pressed on and off to keep track of total duration of the behavior incrementally.

3. As each time a Behavior timer is pressed, that event/episode is recorded incrementally. 

4. Once the Stop button of the main timer is pressed, all the behavior timers are stopped automatically if they are running, and the duration percentage calculated and displayed for the behaviors.

5. Data can be saved as an Image or as a CSV file to be opened in Excel for further analysis;

Key control points:

1. Start button will not work if the main timer is displaying time. Pressing Reset button will rest all values to Zero and then the Start button can be pressed to start the timer.

2. Unless all the values are set to zero the main timer will not start recording.

3. Pressing any Behaviors button will not start it's timer unless the main Start button has been pressed and the main timer is ticking.

4. Stopping the main timer by clicking on End button will stop all running behavior timers and duration percentage is calculated and displayed for each behavior. 

5. Save button will not function while the main timer is running.

6. Percentage is calculated based on Behavior total duration in SECONDS to total duration in SECONDS. 

Duration timing for each behavior is independent and all the behavior timers can be run simultaneously.

This app makes the complex data collection easier, convenient, simple, less time consuming and leave the therapists enough time to concentrate on their important role of interacting with kids with Autism.
