Useful in assisting with goals and data collection. Pros \-Assessment, treatment and all available lessons are highly informative for both the therapist and parents. one can simply start this app by following the instructions. -The ability to see live data collection has been life-changing. - Issues are cleared right away by responsive staff. Cons Because the program is learned from live training, sometimes it becomes really hectic to grasp all the information in one go. This eventually makes it hard for people to catch the pace and learn.

CEO Hospital & Health Care ### "If you want the best, don't waste your time looking elsewhere" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 June 14, 2021 Pros Comprehensive assessment/programming, easy to use, integrated with Codemetro (which was a practice management software that I used at the time), and great feedback from both staff and supervisors (especially from supervisors who had used other data collection softwares). You can tell that SKILLS collaborated with a clinical team who knew the ins and outs of ABA as opposed to simply creating a software. I love that I am able to speak to the Product Manager on a regular basis and she is open to my feedback and relays it to the developers. Cons I wish we could select distractor targets to target in Random Rotation when there are more than 3 targets in the goal. This happens more often than not but even when a target is in Random rotation, it can come up 10 times in a row which isn't true random rotation. To avoid this, we have to use the NET feature but we don't love doing this as we want set notes to be written for each SD (in NET, you can only write 1 set note for each "set" which can include several different goals from different domains). I would also love it if we could have multiple DTT lessons open at the same time. Reasons for choosing Skills Initially I went with SKILLS because I worked at CARD and loved that I could have access to the programming that I was used to. This also allows my supervisors to see that there is programming beyond the simple ABA cookie cutter programs that most agencies teach (i.e., executive functioning and cognition). However, I have a great experience with SKILLS because of my relationship with \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

Special Education Teacher Education Management ### "Use in an ABA classroom" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 June 7, 2021 Overall it is very successful in assisting us with goals and data collection. It has made writing progress reports more informative for educators and parents. Pros It is an excellent way to keep track of goals and collect data. The examples of SDs and prompts are extremely helpful. Cons There has to be an easier way to complete an entire assessment on a students' abilities than what currently exists. It is too time consuming. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor June 16, 2021 Thank you for your input, Michelle. We take great pride in the unsurpassed thoroughness of our assessment, which covers nearly 4,000 distinct skills. No other assessment on the market is as comprehensive. A short version of our assessment is also available, which greatly reduces the time required while assessing the same quantity of skills. It is also worth noting, there is no obligation to complete the assessment in one sitting, nor does the assessment need to be completed in order to initiate treatment. Hope this is helpful! WL Wandee L. Operations Manager Education Management ### "Language Barrier" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 June 7, 2021 It would be great if Skills Global could help to install the Thai translation under the lessons. CARE has translated the lessons into Thai. What we need next is for Skills Global to install them in the system. This will help hundreds or thousands of parents in Thailand to apply Skills and ABA to help their children. And of course, it means more customers for Skills. Pros Assessment, Treatment, and all the lessons are very informative and useful for not only the therapists but also the parents to follow the instructions. Cons Language barrier - As English is not Thai's mother language, it is limited to only a group of people who can fully understand English to use.

As the practice of ABA continues to expand globally, one of our goals is to meet the growing need by translating Skills into other languages. We appreciate your business and hope to grow with you into the future. VM Vanessa M. Human Resources Hospital & Health Care ### "Great tool to use" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 June 3, 2021 Pros SKILLS is a software that any user can learn and pick up easily. It's easy to maneuver and collect the necessary data. Cons I don't have an item that is least liked about the software as of now.

We're thrilled to know our software is benefitting you and your practice. MB Michelle B. Owner, Director Education Management ### "Comprehensive but needs work" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 2.0 2.0 Features 2.0 2.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 June 3, 2021 The SKILLs staff is responsive and quick to address issues. The program saves BCBA time. But it is very hard to learn. Pros It includes programming content. This saves a lot of time and provides access to all the data as administrators which is helpful and keeps us safe from data loss. Cons The features are not user-friendly. There are too many things to remember to do simple things like adding a new exemplar. This makes it hard for new people to learn. The exemplars use language that is too complex to read and understand in the moment with a child with autism. They also should include the Discrimination Stimulus as well as the desired response. It needs to be easier for RBTs to use and understand quickly. Less jargon would make it easier. I think the system would be improved if there was a feature to capture current progress rates for the Treatment Plan rather than having to do that manually for each exemplar. The assessment in the SKILLs system is not accepted by 2 of our insurance carriers so we have to do a 2nd assessment. I wish the Logbook app worked on laptops or phones so everyone didn't need a tablet. The program is hard to learn from a live training. There is too much information and you don't really understand until you begin to use it. I would appreciate a written manual or a series of watch as needed videos to address individual parts of the system. Reasons for choosing Skills SKILLs is the only system that includes programming which is SO important for BCBAs to have. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor June 16, 2021 Thank you for your input, Michele. We strive to maintain the highest clinical quality in our products and embrace the use of clinical verbiage in our tools. Discriminative Stimuli (SDs) are included with each one of the nearly 4,000 skills in the curriculum and can be viewed in both the web platform and the data collection app. While we cannot directly influence the decisions of funders regarding accepted assessments, we take great pride in the thoroughness of our assessment, which is unsurpassed, and have designed the Skills program such that the assessment need not be completed in order to use it for treatment. Thanks to feedback like this, we are constantly improving our progress monitoring capabilities and have added multiple functionalities for viewing and reporting progress in the past months. We have also added an extensive library of training videos for reference, which can be viewed in the "Request Training" link or the "Support Center" link at the bottom of every page. SP Shriya P.
