When It Is Used

Use it before intervention or coaching when the practitioner needs an observable baseline rather than relying only on report.

What It Captures

The tool captures a video sample, basic session context, timestamped practitioner observations, and coaching-relevant support needs.

Important Limits

The tool does not score caregiver behavior, detect emotion, diagnose, or create automated interpretation.

Can the video be submitted remotely?

Yes. The specification supports submitted recording as well as in-session recording.

What happens if the video is poor quality?

The practitioner can mark the capture as unusable or technically limited instead of forcing review conclusions.

Does the system score the interaction?

No. It supports timestamped notes and descriptive review, not automated scoring or behavioral classification.

Can later videos be compared with the baseline?

Yes. A later sample can be selected for descriptive comparison against the baseline.
