SessionABA is the clinical platform ABA clinics use to run their practice — surrounded by a free ecosystem of tools for BCBAs, RBTs, and parents. Built for everyone the software industry forgot.
02 — The ecosystem
SessionABA is the clinical platform ABA clinics use to run their practice. Around it, we've built three free tools — for aspiring RBTs, for solo clinicians, and for parents — because raising the standard of ABA care isn't something one paid product can do alone.
The paid platform
SessionABAFor ABA clinics
The full clinical platform. AI-assisted notes, data collection, supervision, a parent portal, authorization tracking, and a 200+ program library. Everything a clinic needs to run — in one place.
See the platformThe free ecosystem
A 40-hour RBT certification training authored by a practicing BCBA. Free for anyone who wants to enter the field well-prepared.
Standalone AI note generation — the same engine that powers SessionABA. Free for any clinician who needs better documentation tools.
Education, resources, and plain-language guides for parents navigating an autism diagnosis. Free, always.
We're not trying to win by charging more for the same features. We're trying to raise the entire standard of ABA — and that doesn't happen if the tools stay locked up.
Paid platform funds the free ecosystem. By design.
03 — The real problem
The clinical work ends at 5. The charting doesn't.
The average BCBA spends 10–15 hours a week on documentation that isn't billable. Notes get written on evenings and weekends. Authorization paperwork piles up. Compliance dashboards go red. By month three, the best clinicians are burned out — not from the kids, from the charting.
Every ABA platform on the market treats this as a data-entry problem and BCBAs as the data-entry clerks. SessionABA was built around a different premise: the clinician is the author of the note. The software should take everything they've already observed and recorded during the session and hand them a structured draft to review, not a blank page at 11pm on a Sunday.

04 — Documentation
SessionABA takes the data your RBT already collected during the session — trials, mands, behavior incidents, program progress — and structures it into a draft note with the correct billing code (97153, 97155, 97156, H0032, T1024). Your BCBA reviews, edits, and signs. They're always the author. Nothing gets submitted without their clinical review.
Same engine powers SessionScribe, our free standalone note generator.

05 — Supervision
Track RBT observation hours, write feedback in-session, and keep supervision ratios on target — without a separate spreadsheet. Every BCBA knows supervision is where compliance actually lives. SessionABA makes it one of the easiest things in your week, not one of the hardest.
In-session
Write feedback while you observe, no double entry
Real-time
Ratio tracking flags you before you fall behind
06 — Parent portal
Every competitor treats the parent portal as a timesheet-signing afterthought. SessionABA treats it as a product. Plain-language session summaries, progress bars parents understand, wins and worked-on cards, and home strategies they can actually try tonight. Parents who actually engage make every BCBA's job easier.

How Liam did this week
Liam had a strong week. He's asking for things on his own more often, and he sat through morning circle without leaving — first time this month.

When Liam reaches for juice, pause for 3 seconds and wait for "juice" before pouring. Five tries today is plenty.
Compliance
Authorization & documentation
07 — Authorizations
The two things that quietly sink ABA clinics in Minnesota: running over authorization hours, and session documentation that doesn't hold up when someone asks questions later. SessionABA keeps both in view — so you see what's happening before it becomes a problem.

09 — Honest answers
There isn't one. The paid SessionABA platform — used by clinics for the full clinical workflow — funds the free ecosystem. We believe the ABA field needs better training, better tools for solo clinicians, and better resources for parents. We'd rather build those and give them away than watch the standard of care drift further. If the free tools lead some clinics to eventually adopt the paid platform, great. If they don't, we still did the right thing.
