Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often find it difficult to pick up on
cues that one’s behavior is not in accord with others’ social expectations. Cool Versus
Not cool is an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) program designed to teach students
to distinguish the appropriateness of variety of social behaviors in a fun and engaging
way. Learning to identify a range of behaviors, from simple to very complex, and
evaluate correctly the degree of acceptability is a major step towards learning to
adjust one’s own behavior in order fit into the social world.
Customized Behaviors
You can take videos/ photos or upload videos/ photos from the album.
Behaviors can be placed in a sequence according different criteria e.g. the complexity
of the behaviors or the severity of the behaviors.
3 modes
Matching- teach student to identify the behaviors by matching specific
behavior to behavior e.g. walking to walking, jumping to jumping.
Matching Cool VS Not Cool- teach student to matching cool or not cool to
different behaviors e.g. cool to hitting, not cool to keeping nice hands.
Receptive Discrimination- teach student to discriminate whether a behavior is
cool or not cool e.g. hitting is not cool.
