Chapter 5 - Introduction to the Therapy Programs

Introduction to the Therapy Programs

The BITS software has seven therapy menus containing a total of 16 different programs. The seven therapy menus are:

• Eye Hand

• Rotator

• Rapid Eye Movement

• Memory Recall

• Metronome

• Charts

• Visual Motor

Each program provides visual and/or auditory feedback as the patient interacts with the program. The programs also create records on patient performance for each session.

Understanding the Program Parameters

The therapy program parameters control how each program will display content and how the patient will interact with the active program. The program Parameters Window contains the available settings for each therapy program.

Figure 5-1: Example of a Therapy Program Parameters Window

Page 16: Clinician's Guide · 2017. 9. 27. · Puzzle Program ..... 61 Peripheral Letter Chart Menu ... When the BITS Login Window appears, use the keyboard to enter your username and password

13Chapter 5 - Introduction to the Therapy Programs

Each program initially opens with the Parameters Window set with default settings. Depending on a patient’s needs and performance ability, these settings can be revised to adjust the level of difficulty. Once the settings are revised, the software will automatically open to the last used parameters the next time the patient uses that therapy program.

Number of Stimuli

The Number of Stimuli Setting controls the amount of target stimuli displayed during a single therapy session.

Depending on the therapy program selected, the number of stimuli may range from 1 to 100. To adjust the number of stimuli, touch the slider at a specific point or press the arrow buttons to slowly increase one number at a time. The revised number will appear on the right hand side of the slider.

It is recommended to start with a lower number of target stimuli in order to evaluate the patient's baseline performance level. As the patient's performance level improves, the number of stimuli can be increased to raise the level of demand.

Grid

The Grid Setting can either be turned on or off. When the setting is turned on, a grid will appear on the display screen after the therapy program is launched. To turn on the grid setting, touch the circle and a check mark (√) will appear. When the setting is turned off, the circle will have a line through it (Ø).

Note: For the majority of users, the Grid Setting can remain deactivated.

Central Fixation

The Central Fixation Setting can either be turned on or off. When the setting is turned on, the central fixation stimulus letter that appears in the center of the screen will automatically and randomly change every 3-13 target stimuli. The patient will need to touch the new central stimulus letter before continuing to the peripheral target stimuli. If the peripheral target stimulus is touched before touching the new central stimulus letter, an incorrect touch sound will emit.

To turn on the Central Fixation Setting, touch the circle and a check mark (√) will appear. When the setting is turned off, the circle will have a line through it (Ø).

Central Flash

The Central Flash Setting can either be turned on or off. The setting works in conjunction with the Central Fixation Setting.

When the Central Flash Setting is turned on, the central fixation stimulus letter (that appears in the center of the screen) will flash every time it changes. The patient will need to touch the new flashing central stimulus letter before continuing to the peripheral target stimuli. If the peripheral target stimulus is touched before touching the flashing central stimulus letter, then an incorrect touch sound will emit.

14Chapter 5 - Introduction to the Therapy Programs

When the Central Flash Setting is turned off and the Central Fixation Setting is turned on, the central fixation stimulus letter will change without flashing.

To turn on the Central Flash Setting, touch the circle and a check mark (√) will appear. When the setting is turned off, the circle will have a line through it (Ø).

Background Color

The background color of each therapy program can be changed. The Background Color Setting options are: blue, black, and white. To change the color, touch the box for the desired color. A check mark (√) will appear in the box that has been selected. The color of the background can be changed to make it more visually comfortable or challenging for certain patient populations.

Stimuli Color

The stimuli color can be changed. The Stimuli Color Setting options are: blue, red, white, and black. To change the color, touch the box for the desired color. A check mark (√) will appear in the box that has been selected. The color of the background can be changed to make it more visually comfortable or challenging for certain patient populations or to increase or decrease the level of visual demand.

Speed Interval

Speed Interval controls the length of time the target stimulus will remain in one location, before disappearing and reappearing in a new location on the display screen. The Speed Interval Setting ranges from 0.2 to 3 seconds.

To adjust the speed interval, touch the slider at a specific point or press the arrow buttons to slowly increase or decrease the amount of time the target stimulus will be displayed.

Note: This program setting is used with the Time-Paced Program only. It is recommended to use a higher number for the Speed Interval Setting when introducing the Time-Paced Program to a patient.

Quadrant Loading

Quadrant Loading enables the user to manipulate where the target stimuli will appear on the display screen. The target stimuli can be equally displayed throughout the visual field or can be focused in a specific quadrant.

Quadrant Loading options range from 0% to 100%. To change the settings, press and hold the arrows on the grid till the desired percentage has been reached. The revised percentage will appear next to the arrows.

The clinician can modify the percentage of target stimuli that will appear in a given quadrant on the display screen. For

Page 18: Clinician's Guide · 2017. 9. 27. · Puzzle Program ..... 61 Peripheral Letter Chart Menu ... When the BITS Login Window appears, use the keyboard to enter your username and password

15Chapter 5 - Introduction to the Therapy Programs

example if both the horizontal and vertical quadrant settings are at 50% (at all 4 points) then the target stimuli will appear randomly and equally across the display screen. If the vertical setting is at 100% on top (0% on the bottom) and the horizontal setting is at 100% on the left side (0% on the right side), then 100% of the target stimuli will appear in the upper left quadrant of the display screen.

Stimuli Persistence

Stimuli Persistence can be turned on or turned off. If the setting is turned off, the target stimulus will disappear from the screen when the patient touches it. If the setting is turned on, then the target stimulus will remain visible on the display screen even after the target has been correctly touched.

To turn on the Stimuli Persistence Setting, touch the circle and a check mark (√) will appear. When the setting is turned off, the circle will have a line through it (Ø).

Stimuli Size

The Stimuli Size Setting is used to change the size of the target stimuli. To change the stimuli size, touch the slider at a specific point or touch the arrow buttons.

Note: Larger sized target stimuli can be used with patients who have difficulty with arm/hand control or reduced visual acuity. Smaller size target stimuli can be used to increase the visual demand for certain patients.

Stimuli Type

Stimuli Type allows the user to change the type of target stimuli that are displayed. The Stimuli Type Setting options are: circles, letters, numbers, and both (number/letter combination).

To change the stimuli type, touch the circle next to the desired option. The selected option will be highlighted in blue.

Reverse Sequence

The Reverse Sequence Setting determines in what sequence the patient will need to respond to the series of target stimuli. When the setting is turned on, the patient will need to touch the stimuli in reverse order. For example Z through A.

This setting is used with the Rotator Sequence Program, Rotator Gap Sequence Program, and Rapid Eye Movement Sequence Program. To turn on the Reverse Sequence Setting, touch the circle and a check mark (√) will appear. When the setting is turned off, the circle will have a line through it (Ø).

16Chapter 5 - Introduction to the Therapy Programs

Display Fields

The Display Fields Setting allows the user to change the size of the visual field where the target stimuli are displayed. The options for this setting are: central, peripheral, and both. To change the display field, touch the circle next to the desired option. The selected option will be highlighted in blue.

The "Central" option reduces the size of the display field for the target stimuli to appear toward the center rather than the periphery of the available visual area. This option is useful for pediatric patients or for patients who have difficulty reaching the far peripheral areas of the display screen.

The "Peripheral" option has the target stimuli only appearing in the peripheral field of the display screen. This option is useful for increasing the peripheral demands of a therapy session.

The "Both" option has the target stimuli appearing across the entire visual field of the display screen. This option creates the highest level of visual demand.

Tracer

The Tracer Setting can either be turned on or off. This setting is used to provide visual feedback on the accuracy of the touch in relation to the target stimulus. When the Tracer Setting is turned on, a small white dot will appear at the location of the touch whenever the target is not touched accurately.

To turn on the Tracer Setting, touch the circle and a check mark (√) will appear. When the setting is turned off, the circle will have a line through it (Ø).

Note: The Tracer Setting should be turned on when the patient needs feedback on the accuracy of their touch.

Contrast Sensitivity

Contrast Sensitivity is used to increase or decrease the contrast saturation of the target stimuli. To change the Contrast Sensitivity, touch the slider at a specific point or press the arrow buttons to slowly increase or decrease the contrast.

Preview Box

The Preview Box allows the user to view the actual stimuli size, stimuli color, background color, stimulus type, and contrast sensitivity. When changes are made to certain therapy program settings, the Preview Box will provide a visual preview before beginning the therapy program.

Rapid Eye Movement Competition Program

This program is designed as a competition, so that the clinician can work with two patients at the same time. It is important that the two patients are relatively matched in developmental and functional ability.

In the Rapid Eye Movement Competition Program, the display screen is divided into a left and right side. Target stimuli will appear on each side of the display screen. The same set of target stimuli will appear on each side, but in different locations.

In this program, the target stimuli can appear as letters, numbers, words, or a combination of letters/numbers. Just as in the Rapid Eye Movement Verbal Program, the words are divided into five levels of difficulty and use common sight words.

The program will verbally call out a number, letter, or word and both patients must visually locate and then touch the stimulus before the other patient finds it. The first one to correctly locate and touch the stimulus receives a point. The program keeps track of the points and displays them on the Results Screen.

If the Stimuli Persistence Setting is turned off, the target stimulus will remain visible on the display screen, until the patient has touched the center of the target stimulus using the correct sequence. If the Stimuli Persistence Setting is turned on, then the target stimulus will remain visible even after the target has been correctly touched.

Figure 8-5: Competition Program Parameters Window

Depending on the patient's physical and cognitive abilities, the clinician can revise the default settings found on the Competition Program Parameters Window. See Figure 8-5.

44Chapter 9 - Memory Recall Menu

Verbal

The Verbal Setting controls the presentation of the stimuli. When the Verbal Setting is turned on, the presentation of the target stimuli will be verbal. When the Verbal Setting is turned off, the presentation of the target stimuli will be visual.

To turn on the Verbal Setting, touch the circle and a check mark (√) will appear. When the setting is turned off, the circle will have a line through it (Ø).

Reverse

The Reverse Setting will determine in what sequence the patient will need to respond to the target stimuli. When the Reverse Setting is turned on, the patient will need to touch the stimuli in the reverse order. For example, if the stimulus was presented (visually or vocally) as "1-5-8" and the Reverse Setting is turned on, then the correct response would be "8-5-1".

When the Reverse Setting is turned off, then the patient will need to touch the stimuli in the same order it was presented in. For example, if the stimulus was presented (visually or vocally) as "1-5-8" and the Reverse Setting is turned off, then the correct response is "1-5-8".

To turn on the Reverse Setting, touch the circle and a check mark (√) will appear. When the setting is turned off, the circle will have a line through it (Ø).

Flash Time

The Flash Time Setting controls the length of time the target stimuli sequence will appear on the display screen before disappearing. This setting is applicable when the verbal setting is turned off and the stimuli presentation is visual. The Flash Time Setting ranges from 0.2 to 3 seconds.

To adjust the Flash Time Setting, touch the slider at a specific point or press the arrow buttons to slowly increase or decrease the amount of time.

Sequence Length

The Sequence Length Setting controls the number of stimuli that are presented. The number of stimuli ranges from 1 to 9. To adjust the Sequence Length Setting, touch the slider at a specific point or press the arrow buttons.

Note: In Manual Mode, the Memory Recall Program will start with the number of stimuli that are selected, up to 9. In Auto Sequential or Auto Random Modes, the program will begin with a presentation of 2 stimuli, and then continue to the maximum number of 7 stimuli, as indicated by the sequence length setting.

Note: A setting of 1 should only be used for demonstration purposes and not for a therapy session.

45Chapter 9 - Memory Recall Menu

Mode

The Mode Setting determines how the target stimuli will be presented. There are 3 different types of modes: Manual, Auto Sequential, and Auto Random.

Manual Mode

In Manual Mode, the selected number of presented stimuli will always remain the same, up to a maximum of 9 stimuli. For example, if the sequence length setting is set to 4 then a set of 4 stimuli will appear for each session in the program. Each session will have a different series of 4 stimuli.

Auto Sequential Mode

In Auto Sequential Mode, the session will always begin with the presentation of 2 stimuli. Then with each correct response the next presentation will have an additional stimulus. In this mode only the last stimulus in the series will differ from the previous sequence. This will continue up to the maximum number of stimuli as indicated by the Sequence Length Setting, up to 7 stimuli.

For example, if the Stimuli Type Setting is set to Numbers 1, the Sequence Length Setting is set to 4 and the initial stimuli presentation is 2-4, then the next presentation might be 2-4-8. If the patient continues to respond correctly, the last presentation might be 2-4-8-5.

If the patient's response is incorrect, the program will revert to the last correct response and proceed up or down from there.

Auto Random Mode

In Auto Random Mode, the session will always begin with the presentation of 2 stimuli. Then with each correct response, the next presentation will have an additional stimulus. In this mode, every stimulus in the series will be different than the stimuli of the previous sequence. This will continue until the maximum number of stimuli, up to 7, as indicated by the Sequence Length Setting, has been reached.

For example, if the Stimuli Type Setting is set to Numbers 2 and the first presentation is 4-7 and the patient responds correctly, then the next presentation will be 3 totally different numbers, such as 3-6-2.

Stimuli Type Setting

The Stimuli Type Setting includes numbers, letters, and words. The words are divided into five levels of difficulty and use common sight words.

• Level 1: Pre-Primer Level Words

• Level 2: Primer Level Words

• Level 3: First Grade Level Words

• Level 4: Second Grade Level Words

• Level 5: Third Grade Level Words

The numbers are divided into 2 levels.

• Numbers 1: Single Digit Numbers (for example 4 -5 -8)

• Numbers 2: Double Digit Numbers (for example 37-89-45)

Memory Recall Program

In the Memory Recall Program, the presentation of the target stimuli can be be presented verbally or visually. A sequence of letters, numbers, combination (letter/number) or words will be presented visually or verbally. The patient must remember the presented sequence, locate the correct letters, numbers, or words and touch them according to the correct sequence.

Puzzle Program

The Puzzle Program is one of the therapy programs found under the Letter Chart sub-menu. This program is a word completion game. In this program a letter chart with guides will appear on the display screen and the word to guess will be represented by a row of dashes located on the bottom of the screen. See Figure 11-8.

The program will visually or verbally give the patient row and column coordinates. The patient will then need to locate the stimulus in the chart and touch the corresponding letter. For example if the program gives the stimulus code "H3" the patient will scan across to column H and then down to row 3 to find the letter D and then touch the letter. If the correct letter is touched it will appear on the bottom of the display screen replacing one of the dashes.

When the patient feels that they can solve the rest of the word they can touch the Solve button. The stimulus code will stop and the patient can find and touch the rest of the letters to form the word.

If the metronome feature is turned on, the patient will need to touch the letters in time with the metronome beat.

Geoboard Menu

The Geoboard Menu consists of one therapy program: Geoboard. Two geoboards will appear on the display screen. One geoboard will display a stimulus pattern on it. The patient will need to recreate this pattern by drawing on the other geoboard. There are a wide variety of stimulus patterns to choose from, ranging in complexity levels.

Parameters

The Geoboard Program uses parameter settings that are unique to this program.

Patterns

The Pattern Setting controls the appearance of the stimulus pattern displayed on the geoboard.There are 20 different patterns to choose from. The complexity of the patterns increases from left to right on the setting choices. To select touch the circle next to the desired pattern.

Pattern Left

The Pattern Left Setting controls where the geoboard with the stimulus pattern will appear on the display screen. When the setting is turned on, the geoboard with the stimulus pattern will appear on the left side of the screen and the geoboard for the patient to draw on will appear on the right side. When the setting is turned off, the geoboard with the stimulus pattern will appear on the ride side of the screen and the geoboard for the patient to draw on will appear on the left side.

To turn on the setting, touch the circle and a check mark (√) will appear. When the setting is turned off, the circle will have a line through it (Ø).

Memory

The Memory Setting controls the presentation of the geoboard with the stimulus pattern. When the setting is turned off, the geoboard with the stimulus pattern will remain displayed on the screen. When the setting is turned on, the geoboard with the stimulus pattern will appear on the display screen for a limited amount of time before disappearing. The patient will need to memorize the pattern to correctly finish drawing the reproduction.

When the Finished Button is pressed, the stimulus pattern will superimpose on the reproduction drawing for comparison purposes. To turn on the setting, touch the circle and a check mark (√) will appear. When the setting is turned off, the circle will have a line through it (Ø).

Time

The Time Setting controls the amount of time the geoboard with the stimulus pattern appears on the display screen before disappearing. This setting works when the Memory Setting is turned on. The Time Setting ranges from 2 seconds to 15 seconds. To adjust this setting, touch the arrow buttons to the desired number.

81Chapter 12 - Visual-Motor Menu

Reproduction

The Reproduction Setting controls how the patient will need to reproduce the stimulus pattern. To select touch the circle next to the desired setting. There are 5 options:

• Duplicate - The patient reproduces the stimulus pattern exactly how it appears.

• Flip Horizontal - The patient reproduces the stimulus pattern flipped horizontally, across the vertical axis.

• Flip Vertical - The patient reproduces the stimulus pattern flipped vertically, across the horizontal axis.

• Rotate 90 R - The patient reproduces the stimulus pattern rotated 90 degrees clockwise.

• Rotate 90 L - The patient reproduces the stimulus pattern rotated 90 degrees counter clockwise.

Matrix

The Matrix Setting controls what type of matrix will appear on the geoboard on the display screen. To select touch the circle next to the desired setting. There are 5 different options:

• Full - A 5 x 5 matrix with 25 dots will appear.

• 8 Missing - A matrix with 17 dots will appear.

• 12 Missing - A matrix with 13 dots will appear.

• 16 Missing - A matrix with 9 dots will appear.

• 20 Missing - A matrix with 5 dots will appear.

Note: As the number of dots decreases, the level of complexity increases due to the patient being asked to reproduce the stimulus pattern with less visual information.

Depending on the patient's abilities, the clinician can revise the default settings found on the Geoboard Program Parameters Window. See Figure 12-10.
