Abstract

Self-monitoring has demonstrated to be an effective strategy for students in an academic setting; however, little research has been conducted on students with Emotional Behavioral Disorder (EBD) self-monitoring their emotions and behaviors while integrating technology. Technology has evolved dramatically and is a prevalent tool to use in classrooms. Current research does not offer this form of technology in an educational setting. The purpose of this project is to design a smartphone application to allow middle school aged students with EBO to self-monitor their emotions and behaviors. The process of designing the application and its components is further discussed.
