# My Way

A functional request (mand), for example in FCT

One large button. Each press says “my way,” using one of eight recordings.

## When

-   Teaching a request to do something their way, as a replacement for problem behavior.
-   Any time you want a simple, reliable speech-output button to count responses.

## Why

-   Large, forgiving target that works with any touch.
-   Varied recordings keep it from sounding robotic or getting stale.
-   Every press is counted, so you get frequency and rate data without a clicker.

## How

1.  Open **My Way** and put the device where the learner can reach it.
2.  Prompt as planned, then honor the request when they press.
3.  There are no settings. Just leave it open for the session.

**Saved to the dashboard:** Every press. The dashboard shows presses today, over the last 7 days, and per session, a 14-day chart, and the rate per minute.
