Can a phone app boost therapy for kids with behavioral issues?

This study tests a smartphone app called Footsteps that helps school aides track behaviors of children aged 4-17 with conditions like autism, ADHD, or oppositional defiant disorder. The goal is to see if the app improves how consistently and accurately aides record data, and whether that leads to better communication with supervisors and improved youth mental health. About 200 participants (aides and supervisors) will use either Footsteps or a basic data-collection app for 12 weeks.
