| Abstract: The use of new technology has had a vertiginous growth since the past10 years. This growth has not impacted the interventions on Applied Behavior Analysis, since our discipline has been dedicated to strength its conceptual frame and procedures, to refine its methodology and to develop techniques etc. In this sense, the necessity to have specialized software of low cost, that allows the administration of the psychological services is the next logic step that our discipline has to take. In Mexico has been developed several technological tools as ISEECI and others for applied behavioral interventions. The present work will make a demonstration of how can we apply this technology on different interventions using Applied Behavior Analysis procedures. Some of the applications will demonstrate the feasibility of the software on the design of interventions using strategies like differential reinforcement, errorless teaching procedures, behavioral contracts, token economy, antecedent control, etc. |

| ISEECI as a Tool for Planned Activities Strategies to Create Covariance on Behavioral Problems. |

| Abstract: The explanation of the covariance behavior is based on the natural reinforcement of response, and on the functional equivalence of the behavior. Planned activities is a procedure that promotes this phenomenon showing the decrease of maladaptive behaviors due to the programming of different activities that promote the presence of prosocial behaviors. The applied behavior analysis component of ISEECI was used to design the different registries needed for the intervention. An ABC format was applied at the beginning in order to identify the maladaptive behaviors and those behaviors were defined by the parents as noncompliance and tantrums and were frequently recorded by the time they applied the planned activities program. This procedure was used with four children between 5 and 6 years old. The intervention consisted on programming randomly activities with high and low preference in hours when the noncompliance and tantrums happened more frequently. The software helped on the analysis of the data obtained by the intervention. The results will be presented with the management of the software. |

| Abstract: The behavior analysis component of ISEECI was used to design registries allowing the parents the follow up of a planned activities program in the academic area and in the administration of differential reinforcement of low rates. The participants were 4 teenagers with 17 years old with defiant behavior at home and school. An ABC format was applied in order to identify the maladaptive behaviors when following home works at home. The teenagers were explained how to follow the academic program using an agenda, a homework registry with the teachers signature, and a planner and registry of activities, all these formats were design using the software ISEECI. When the teenagers accomplished the criteria of the activities they could obtained a reinforcement starting 10% below of the activities they usually do, increasing the criteria week after week. An AB design was applied with a follow up and generalization measurements on the target behavior. In all the cases the maladaptive behaviors decreased in 50% and the academic behaviors increased in 80%. This results show the importance of using technology to enhance clinical procedures. |

| The Use Of ISEECI To Apply Differential Reinforcement Of Low Rates With Defiant Behavior. |

| Abstract: Noncompliance and tantrums are probably the most exhibited behaviors during childhood and their management generates other defiant behaviors on the children, by consequence the parents show behaviors such as shouting, insulting, hitting among others. In the study participated four children, all of them were 4 years old, with behavioral challenge and showing escaping with no alert of the risk of those behaviors. For the study, the Behavior Analysis component of ISEECI was used to create a behavioral management program with tokens and interchange of reinforcements. An ABC format was applied in order to identify the target behaviors. SIPEICE created behavior registries allowing the parents to learn how to frequently reinforce their children using tokens every half an hour they did not exhibit the target behaviors. An AB design was used with follow up and the results show an 80% decrease of the behaviors showing the effectiveness of the treatment and the use of the technological tools. |

| The Orchesting of Maternal Social Contingencies in Child Behavior Problems. |

| Abstract: The studies about mother – child interaction show the importance of the orchesting of maternal social contingencies that promote the children well-being and compliance. The probability of the child compliance increases when the mother responds to the child’s behavior in an appropriate way.This study evaluated the effect of the orchesting of maternal social contingencies in nine mother – child pairs all of them with behavioral problems history. Due to the fact that traditional observation systems do not allow having intervals less than five seconds, a new software was developed to facilitate the registry of interactional patterns. This software let to registry in real time using up to 13 categories checking the presence of the observational categories in one second interval. The software also allows to get the registry on a table graph and gives the average of the presence of the categories. The software reduces the disadvantages of the traditional systems of direct observation. |
