BEST School Behavior

BEST School Behavior turns classroom observations and interviews into usable behavioral data.

Built for school psychologists, behavior analysts, special education teachers, and other professionals running functional behavior assessments. BEST replaces the clipboard, the tally sheet, and the stack of paper that still has to be calculated, synthesized, and typed up afterward.

WHAT MAKES BEST DIFFERENT
• A complete FBA in one place. Staff interviews and direct observations live in the same case and are analyzed together, instead of sitting in two tools and a spreadsheet.
• The evidence is worked out for you. Recorded antecedents, consequences, and staff ratings combine into an evidence score for each function, and the app shows how much each source contributed.
• Built for teams. Share a case with a colleague through iCloud - view-only or full editing, revoked whenever you choose - and collect data on the same student together, each from your own device. Sharing is free.
• Configured by you, case by case. Antecedents, consequences, activities, behaviors, and evidence weightings are all yours to set, and they travel with a shared case so the whole team records the same way.

FREE, WITH NO LIMIT ON CASES
• Simply tap to record both challenging and prosocial behaviors with exact timestamps and class settings
• Capture full ABC (antecedent, behavior, consequence) data from your phone, wrist, or iPad
• Customize each behavior definition and see that definition while you observe
• Watch elapsed time and event counts update live as the session runs
• Keep the running session on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island
• Run a structured 19-item staff interview covering strengths, preferences, and behavior ratings
• Print a blank rating scale to hand a teacher and collect later
• Keep a complete session history per case, with strengths and notes you can revise
• Export any session or case as a CSV file, for your files or your district's system

OBSERVE FROM YOUR WRIST
The Apple Watch companion app records a full session from your wrist - useful when holding a phone would change the very behavior you came to watch. Sessions sync back to your iPhone on their own.

THE ANALYSIS (SUBSCRIPTION)
• Weighted scoring across the four function domains: attention, escape, tangible, and sensory
• A breakdown of how much each source - antecedents, consequences, staff ratings - contributed to every function
• Antecedent and consequence pathways for each behavior of concern
• Flags when the data doesn't support a conclusion - an undifferentiated profile, or a function nobody could observe
• Export a professionally formatted FBA report as a PDF

Your data is never held hostage. If a subscription lapses, every case, observation, interview, and note stays exactly where it is and CSV export keeps working. Only the analysis page locks.

BUILT FOR STUDENT PRIVACY
Cases are identified by a code of up to four characters that you choose. The app never asks for a student's name, birthdate, ID number, or photograph.

Your records live in your own private iCloud account and sync across your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. There is no BEST server, no account to create, and no password. The developer cannot see your data. No analytics, no advertising, no tracking.
