Our project is an enhancement of an existing behavioral modification system for learning disabled children. The principle behind the modification of this device is to change student behavior by providing students feedback via a remote activation signaling positive and negative behavior as observed by a remote viewer. Currently, remote activation of the unit is not possible. In addition to remote activation the device enhancement will also include the ability to record the data submitted by the remote user thus allowing for data analysis of behavior trends.

The system will consist of a key fob, a receiver, and a localized hub. The key fob will consist of two buttons that correspond to positive or negative feed back for positive or negative behavior. This will transmit wirelessly to the receiver and give vibrations to the student as feed back: 1 buzz for bad behavior and 2 buzzes for good behavior. At the end of the day a hub will be used to wirelessly take the stored data from the receiver and feed it to a computer for processing.
