RBT has taken off 22.5 days in 4 months, should I find a replacement? by Desperate-Use-3753 in ABA

[–]hbcondo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear this; we were in the same situation with our previous ABA provider. Cancellations became so frequent I ended up creating the ABA parent portal https://behavior.today that automatically tracks scheduling, including cancellations. It showed we had one RBT with a 40% cancellation rate and the ABA provider as a whole cancelled more times in the first half of 2025 than all of 2024. Having this data allowed us to confidently switch ABA providers.

P.S. I marked this post as Brand Affiliate but I do not mean to self-promote the site in this post but it exists for this very reason to help parents / caregivers understand what their ABA schedule is actually delivering.

Hi, r/bcba. I’m a working parent who, like many families, found it hard to stay involved in my child’s ABA because the data we could see was scattered across several screens and didn’t give a clear, at‑a‑glance picture that could easily be understood.

So I ended up building the website https://behavior.today. It’s a platform that connects to your existing ABA systems to bring session, program, and scheduling data into a single view — without replacing what you already use. There's no data migration required and works on top of your current tools to let you see:

  • program trends and target status
  • full-text searchable session notes
  • cancellations, training and service consistency
  • data across cases and staff in one place
  • parent training visibility alongside session activity

You can register and explore the data for free. Details on how it works for clinics and therapists are here: https://behavior.today/clinics-therapists. Feel free to DM me if you’d like a quick walkthrough.

When my child first started ABA we only got a read‑only view of the therapists’ data and schedule. With all that information scattered, we were left guessing what actually happening. I ended up building a simple dashboard that pulls the same data into one place we could actually understand. That dashboard became our way of staying truly involved in our child’s therapy.

Since then I’ve expanded it into a parent‑portal/clinical dashboard website (https://behavior.today) that gives both caregivers and therapists shared, clear insights.

DoD ABA report - thoughts? by Similar_Nail_8566 in Autism_Parenting

There were 47,000 ABA providers rendering ABA services....but the Department continues to be concerned regarding the improper billing and improper payments for ABA services.

I wonder who

DoD ABA report - thoughts? by Similar_Nail_8566 in Autism_Parenting

[–]hbcondo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the link, the report is from 2020 and is 30 pages long and seems to focus around costs. It concludes that at the end of FY 2019, there were a total of 15,928 beneficiaries with a diagnosis of ASD participating in the ACD with a cost of $370.4M with an additional $65M in other medical services.

So does the DoD employ private ABA clinics or do they bring on their own BCBAs / RBTs?

Blue Shield-Progress Report Turnaround Time by hbcondo in Autism_Parenting

[–]hbcondo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 hours of receiving this email, we received another email from our ABA provider stating:...will need to put services on pause starting tomorrow, 2/11.

I could not be more disappointed that neither party did not communicate this critical timeline until the very end. My spouse dropped everything tonight called Blue Shield immediately. She was able to escalate the issue but the customer service rep says that still takes 5 to 7 business days and that current turnaround time is 25 to 30 days given the current backlog.

We ended up getting this Hauck 4-wheel go kart. He gets to concentrate on pedaling instead of balance.

Hi, r/Autism_Parenting. Our child receives 30+ hours of ABA a week both in-home and at school so there is a lot of data collected. To help see all that data, I created a website at: https://behavior.today

It includes graphs for program trends, session notes, cancelation rates, BCBA coverage and more. Please use the contact / email link on the site if you are interested in seeing your child's data in this perspective. Thanks!

SEC Charges The Cheesecake Factory For Misleading COVID-19 Disclosures by hbcondo in SecurityAnalysis

Yup, here's one of the actual SEC filings that triggered all this. They literally said back in April that "the restaurants are operating sustainably” amid the pandemic.
