Tracto does this by easily allowing for the collaborative tracking of behaviors over time. \\nParents can invite teachers or anyone else they want to help document behavioral changes. Not everyone sees the same things because every environment is different. Being able to document behaviors in realtime, prevents having to pull from memory later on, making it more accurate, and reliable information. \\n\\nTracking things like sleep patterns, medication-related behavioral changes, behaviors in the classroom, or anything else that parents of these amazing kiddos need to keep an eye on, can be challenging. Simply put, Tracto makes it easy. \\nAll tracking and collaboration functions to this app are completely free.\\nThey also offer affordable online courses, taught by leading experts if you\\u2019re interested in learning some new parenting skills yourself.
