ABA therapy activities: what to actually do with the ten minutes you have
A practical guide to ABA therapy activities: how to pick one, how to run it so the child succeeds, and how to tell whether it taught anything.

Other tools record. Interlaza teaches.
Every other ABA tool records what a child did. Interlaza runs the teaching trial itself — real Match-to-Sample and stimulus equivalence, difficulty that adapts as the child learns, and trial-by-trial data an AI turns into a family-ready report. Built for instructors, supervisors, and researchers.
Free for everyone during the testing phase, until 30 November 2026 — no payment required.
What it changes in your week
Reduces repeated documentation, material setup and reconstruction so more of the review begins with the evidence assembled.
- Ready-to-review Interlaza programs and editable community pathways
- BKT carries eligible evidence across trials without turning one streak into a learning claim
- Real-time error pattern alerts with concrete adjustments you can apply with one tap
- Drafted progress reports grounded in session data, ready for Instructor review
- One learner record across tablet trials, off-tablet teaching and direct observation
- Probability estimates support pacing decisions while generalization, transfer and maintenance remain separate checks
- Ready-made Interlaza programs — or build your own from scratch. You choose the level of control.
How It Works
One engine. Every exercise type.
From identity matching to equivalence relations and relational frames — all in one adaptive platform.
Multiple exercise types
Identity matching · Non-identical matching · Symbolic (word→image) · Auditory (sound→image) · Equivalence, relational frames, and more. Each type adapts its difficulty automatically based on the child's real-time performance.
800+ concepts ready to use
Our own library — more than 2,100 images across realistic photographs, pictograms, and scenes, plus geometric shapes and sounds. Created and curated for this platform, organized by category, animacy, size, and frequency. Add your own photos or AI-generated images at any time.
Instructor Mode
Off-tablet sessions, recorded in one tap.
Sometimes the child works with physical cards, real objects, spoken language, or in a setting where a tablet doesn't fit. Interlaza tells the instructor exactly what to present next and how many trials to run, then captures each response from the instructor's phone — independent, prompted (with prompt type), incorrect, or no response. Same trial-by-trial data as a tablet session, with the program doing the planning.
The program plans. The instructor records.
The header shows which card is the sample and which is the target (ringed in amber), plus the trial counter — Interlaza picks the next stimulus and the number of trials based on the child's mastery level. Four zones below — Independent, Prompted (with five prompt types), Incorrect and No Response — let the instructor record each response with one tap, eyes on the child, not on the screen.
For paper, objects, and hands-on teaching
Ideal when the learner is too young, too active, or simply needs a physical setup. The instructor holds their phone with the Tap Pad open while presenting real materials. Sessions sync to the same dashboard as tablet runs — one continuous record per student.
Three ways to run a session off the tablet
Card-based MTS
Lay out physical pictogram or photo cards from the library and record each match. Interlaza tracks the sample, the target, and the prompt level.
Text-only MTS
Define your own samples and comparisons as plain words — no images needed. Ideal for readers, labels, or materials you bring yourself.
Free Operant
No comparison cards at all. Present a cue and score the spoken response across four verbal operants — echoic, mand, tact, and intraverbal.
Before each session, print the trial plan — sample, comparisons, and targets laid out as a checklist, or pictograms as ready-to-cut cards — so the materials are staged before you sit down with the child.
The engine
Everything a professional or researcher needs
- Adaptive MTS Training
- Match-to-sample exercises that adapt to each child's skill level using real-time performance data.
- Instructor Data Entry
- Run a session with physical stimuli or off-screen materials and score each trial yourself with the on-screen Tap Pad — no tablet in the child's hands required. Live IOA shadow scoring lets a second observer compare in real time.
- Free Operant
- Score spoken or signed verbal behavior off the tablet — echoic, mand, tact, and intraverbal — with no comparison cards. Present a cue, record the response, and it joins the same mastery and BKT tracking as every other activity.
- Task Chaining
- Teach multi-step routines — hand washing, brushing teeth, getting dressed, making a sandwich, writing a name — forward, backward, or as a total task, with a seven-level most-to-least prompt hierarchy and per-step scoring of independent vs. prompted.
- Direct Measurement
- Not every target is a trial. Count a behavior to get a rate per minute, or time episodes to get total duration and duration per occurrence — the two numbers one twenty-minute episode and twenty one-minute episodes do not share.
- Bayesian Knowledge Tracing
- Real-time mastery estimation personalizes every session — no more guessing whether a child has truly learned.
- Stimulus Equivalence
- Train 2 relations, derive 4 more for free. Sidman's stimulus equivalence paradigm, fully digitized with probes.
- Relational Frame Theory
- Coordination, distinction, opposition, and hierarchy frames built in, with contextual cues you can configure per exercise.
- Errorless Learning
- Configurable distractor fading — 3 phases by default — with 5 prompt types: opacity, size, highlight, arrow, and position.
- Smart Interventions
- Real-time error pattern detection with automatic adjustments — position bias, perseveration, fast guessing, and more.
- Transfer Matrix
- Transfer verification informed by Varela: mastery is only claimed when learning survives instances the child never practised.
- Clinical Reports
- AI-powered progress summaries and intervention suggestions — clear narratives instructors can share with families.
- Open Integrations
- Connect with Zapier, Make.com, Google Sheets, and IEP systems via webhooks. Export data where you need it — no closed ecosystem.
- Community Store
- Browse and clone training modules shared by instructors and researchers. Filter by paradigm and age group, review the author and configuration, then adapt a copy before assigning it.
- Your Own Stimuli
- Upload your own photos, drawings, or audio clips and use them in any exercise — bring familiar faces, household objects, or context-specific items into training without losing the rest of the engine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it suitable for school or clinic use?
Yes. The Professional plan is designed for clinical and school settings. The Institution plan adds organizational management features for clinics, schools, and multi-professional teams.
What device do I need?
Interlaza runs in the browser — nothing to install, though you can add it to the home screen and use it like an app, offline included. The child-facing screen scales to whatever size it is given and never shrinks a touch target below 80 px, so a phone works. A 10-inch tablet is the best size: that is where the images render at full scale. A 7–8 inch tablet is comfortable too. Instructors can plan sessions and record off-tablet trials from a phone or computer.
Who owns the clinical data?
You do. All session data is stored locally on your device. Cloud sync is optional. We never sell or share clinical data — it belongs entirely to you and your students.
Is my patient data HIPAA-safe?
Interlaza is local-first: session and student data is stored on your own device, not on our servers. Cloud backup is optional and off by default, so protected health information never leaves your device unless you choose to turn it on. We never sell or share clinical data. If your organization needs a signed agreement (BAA) before any data is stored in the cloud, contact us.
Can I manage more than one student?
The Family plan supports a single learner. Professional includes up to 5 students at a flat monthly price. Researcher covers up to 25 students for larger caseloads. Institution offers up to 100 students with custom pricing.
