ABA data collection software for RBTs in the field

ABA data collection software records behavior data during a session: trial-by-trial DTT with prompt levels, task analysis, frequency, duration, rate, latency, interval recording and ABC events, graphed automatically with phase-change lines. MegAligna captures on a phone one-handed and queues every tap locally, so a lost connection never costs a session.

What RBTs and BCBAs ask

Which measurement types are supported?
Trial-by-trial discrete trial training with prompt hierarchies, task analysis with forward and backward chaining, frequency, rate, duration, latency, partial and whole interval recording, momentary time sampling with configurable intervals, and structured ABC event recording.
What happens when there is no signal?
Every tap is written to a local queue on the device with its own identifier and synced when the connection returns. Data entry is never blocked by connectivity. The honest limit: the day's roster and targets must have loaded while online, and signing a note needs a connection.
Do graphs draw phase lines automatically?
Yes. A phase change, baseline to intervention to maintenance, draws a line on the graph with its condition label. Mastery criteria are set by your clinic, not by us, and can auto-flag mastery and move a target to its next phase.
Can data be collected on a personal phone?
It runs in the browser on any modern phone or tablet, with no app-store install. Whether staff use personal devices is your policy decision and belongs in your own risk analysis.

Designed for the hand holding the materials

An RBT collecting data has one hand on a phone and one hand in the session. The capture surface is built for that: the three primary responses are the three largest targets on the screen, one target fills one screen, every tap gives an instant visual confirm, and an undo control is always visible because mis-taps are constant. The confirm is rendered locally, never gated on the network, the design rule is that the hand in the session should never wait on a spinner, because the session does not pause for one.

What this ABA data collection software captures

  • Included

    Discrete trial training

    Per-trial correct, prompted or incorrect, with a configurable prompt hierarchy and target rotation.

  • Included

    Task analysis

    Chained skills with a prompt level per step, forward or backward chaining.

  • Included

    Frequency, rate, duration, latency

    Counters and timers for behaviors measured by how often, how long or how soon.

  • Included

    Interval recording

    Partial interval, whole interval and momentary time sampling, with a configurable interval length and vibration cues.

  • Included

    ABC recording

    Structured antecedent, behavior and consequence events rather than free text.

  • Included

    Graphs with phase lines

    Automatic line graphs with phase-change lines, condition labels and editable axes, in the app and in exported reports.

Mastery criteria belong to your clinic

Criteria are configurable, with no vendor defaults presented as clinical guidance. When criteria are met the target is flagged and, if you have chosen to, moved to its next phase with the phase line drawn. Maintenance and generalization probes can be scheduled after mastery, and a regression reopens the target.

From data to a note

The end-of-session note is pre-filled from what was captured, times, targets run, totals, so the RBT edits rather than authors, and the note and the data cannot disagree.

The same chain continues into billing: the signed session generates its charge line, with units derived from the recorded times and the authorization it was delivered under, and the finished charges export per session for whoever bills for the agency. Data, note and charge are one record wearing three hats, which is why an audit that starts at any of the three ends at the same session.
