Objectives

The primary goal of our project was to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of ABA therapy practices by developing innovative tools. We aimed to streamline the activity of ABA therapists, ensuring smoother workflows and improved outcomes for autistic children. Specific objectives: SO.1: Developing a Digital Management Platform and App to streamline ABA therapists' activities. We developed and tested these tools during WP4 activities, ensuring their functionality and performance. SO.2: Enhancing ABA therapy practices by developing and improving models of work. Through WP3 activities, we developed a training course that integrated classical methods with new approaches, empowering therapists and facilitating faster integration of autistic children into society. SO.3: Actively involving parents in the therapy process to enhance outcomes. This objective was achieved through collaboration with ABA therapists during WP4/A3 activities. SO.4: Facilitating the exchange of expertise among professionals across the European Community. This objective was realized through collaborative efforts during WP3, WP4, and C1 activities.

Background

We applied for this project with the aim of addressing critical needs in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. The project was developed to streamline the activity of ABA therapists by leveraging digital innovation to develop tools and enhance training and therapy methods. One of the primary motivations behind our application was to align with the priorities outlined by the Erasmus+ program, ensuring that our project objectives, activities, and results were in harmony with these overarching goals. By developing digital readiness, resilience, and capacity, we aimed to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of ABA therapy practices. By doing so, we successfully achieved several project objectives, including M.O, SO.1, SO.3, and SO.4. Our efforts in this regard were aimed at not only improving the workflow of ABA therapists but also enhancing the therapy process for autistic children, ultimately contributing to their overall well-being and development. Additionally, we recognized the importance of innovation in vocational education and training, as well as the need for improved quality assurance in these areas.
