Behavior Observation: BOSS
Observe Students in School
USD 59.99
Transform classroom behavior tracking with BOSS — the professional observation tool trusted by educators and clinicians nationwide. Capture systematic behavior data in minutes and turn it into clean, defensible reports that drive meaningful interventions.
Built for school psychologists, ABA professionals, and special education teams conducting functional behavior assessments (FBA), IEP support, and progress monitoring.
SYSTEMATIC OBSERVATION, DONE RIGHT
• Momentary time sampling and partial-interval recording, the way the BOSS protocol intends
• Customizable session duration and observation intervals
• Track Engaged (Active / Passive) and Non-Engaged (Motor / Verbal / Passive) behaviors
• Built-in peer comparison intervals for classroom-referenced context
• Teacher-Directed Instruction (TDI) tracking — configurable per observation
• Virtual observation mode: record camera and microphone status in remote sessions
• Haptic interval cues keep your eyes on the student, not on a timer
CLINICAL-GRADE CHARTS AND REPORTS — REDESIGNED
• Every chart now shows value labels on every bar: read exact percentages at a glance
• Color-vision-deficiency-safe palette that stays legible in print and on screen
• Export polished PDF reports, spreadsheet-ready CSV, and shareable HTML
• Charts render identically in the app and in your exports — what you see is what you file
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Works fully offline — sessions, data, and reports live on your device
• Nothing is uploaded to any server; data leaves the app only when you choose to export it
• Dark mode support throughout
ONE-TIME PURCHASE
• No subscriptions, no accounts, no ads
