FAQ

To improve your child’s behavior, you need to be able to measure it. VillageMetrics captures behavior data from everyone involved in your child’s care and correlates it with changes in medications, therapies, and routines. This helps you see what’s actually working and make more informed decisions to achieve better outcomes.

You can invite caregivers—such as teachers, therapists, and family members—to contribute behavior scores and journal entries. You control exactly who can contribute data and who can view specific types of information, like journal entries or medication details.

Yes! VillageMetrics works just as well if you’re the only one tracking data. You’ll still get meaningful insights into the effects of medications, routines, and activities on your child’s behavior.

Your child’s data is completely private. You own it, and no one can access it without your permission. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and our backend infrastructure is fully HIPAA compliant to meet the highest standards of security.

Yes! You can easily export your child's behavior data and insights as a PDF to share with doctors or therapists. This feature helps you collaborate effectively on care plans. You can also use the Ask Anything chat feature during meetings to quickly find specific information—like asking "When did the current medication start helping, and how does it compare to what we tried before?" to get immediate, data-backed answers to support your discussions.

While you don’t need to log data every single day, regular tracking is essential for the app to work. Measuring behavior is the key to improving it, and the more data you have, the better insights you’ll get. That said, you don’t have to do it all yourself—VillageMetrics lets you involve your child’s village, so teachers, therapists, or family members can help log data. Plus, the app makes it easy with features like voice journaling, so even a quick, one-minute update can keep the data flowing.

Logging data is quick and flexible. You can use the voice journaling feature to summarize your day in just a minute or two—simply speak naturally about what happened, and the AI automatically analyzes the content to score behavior goals and identify patterns. It's designed to fit into even the busiest schedules.

No, VillageMetrics can be helpful for any child where behavior tracking is important. It was designed with autism, ADHD, and similar conditions in mind because parents in those situations typically have the most to gain—they’re often managing complex treatments and behaviors and are highly motivated to track daily data. But even without tracking medications, the app’s behavior scores, AI-tagged journal entries, and collaborative features can be useful for parents of neurotypical kids too. If you’re willing to log data regularly, VillageMetrics can absolutely work for you.

Yes, VillageMetrics is designed to support tracking for all the children in your family under one account. There’s no extra cost—our pricing is for the whole family.

While parents are the primary users of VillageMetrics—owning the data and acting as the primary steward of their child’s information—the app is also designed for other caregivers, such as therapists, teachers, and family members. These contributors can log data and, if the parent chooses, access analysis to support the child’s care. VillageMetrics enables the entire caregiving team to work together effectively, with parents maintaining full control over how data is shared and used.

VillageMetrics provides clear, data-backed insights into your child's behavior over time. During IEP meetings, you can share trends and progress to advocate for supports, identify triggers, and highlight what's working or not. For therapist consultations, the app helps track the effectiveness of interventions and supports data-driven discussions about next steps. You can export detailed reports to present objective data, or use the Ask Anything feature in real-time to answer specific questions—for example, asking "Is my child's ability to self-regulate improving over time, or staying the same?" or "Which skills has my child mastered that we can build on?" to get immediate insights that complement your observations and help advocate for the right level of support.

VillageMetrics costs $119 per year per family, and includes everything—full access to all features, all children in your household, and as many caregivers as you want to invite. There are no per-child or per-user fees.

Every account starts with a generous 4 week free trial, so you can explore everything the app offers before committing. If you find it helpful, you can continue with one simple annual payment after the trial ends.
