Behavior Breakthroughs™ is an interactive training simulation created for parents and caregivers of children and adults who display challenging behavior. Using game-based technology, users learn to effectively implement behavioral strategies and techniques. The simulation displays realistic images of a virtual child, Asa, engaging in challenging behaviors. The user chooses an intervention based on principles such as positive reinforcement and extinction. The child's behavior will become more or less agitated depending on the user's timing and choice.
