A system, method and related devices for monitoring and improving the
training and social eye contact and communication skills of
developmentally challenged individuals such as autistic individuals and
other individuals with special needs in improving their interpersonal
communicating and other skills. A so called, TeachMe component of the
system allows the defining of a students/patients long-term behavior or
academic or social goal treatment in a hierarchical relationship of
skills in treatment plans. It captures behavioral event within a
`behavioral stream` and in real time stores the `behavioral stream` in a
centralized database that can be accessed anywhere and anytime using the
Internet. Procedures and materials used during the treatment are
identified and data is stored in a central depository and can be
displayed in a therapist's handheld device. The WatchMe component of the
system and method monitors and obtains qualitative and quantitative
information about the eye contact habits of a subject being trained or
interviewed. It provides stimuli that promotes and encourages
improvements in the eye contact habits of the subject.
