Data Collection
SessionABA supports every ABA data collection method BCBAs use — discrete trial, interval, task analysis, duration, frequency, rate, scatterplot, and probe. All 8 types work offline for BTs in the field. Session data flows directly into AI-generated session notes automatically.
Every collection type is linked directly to the program library and AI note generation. Data goes in — billing-code-aware session note comes out.
Record correct responses, incorrect responses, and no responses across trials. Set trial counts per target. Track prompt levels and independence. Auto-calculates percent correct across trials.
Best for:
Skill acquisition programs — receptive language, imitation, matching
Whole interval, partial interval, and momentary time sampling. Set interval length and session duration. Ideal for behaviors that need observation across time blocks rather than discrete counting.
Best for:
Stereotypy, off-task behavior, on-task engagement
Record independence, prompt level, or pass/fail per step across a chained sequence. Full, backward, and forward chaining supported. Track step-by-step performance with total task prompting.
Best for:
Daily living skills, self-care, vocational sequences
Built-in timer captures exact duration of target behaviors or skill performance. One-tap start and stop. Total duration, average duration, and duration per episode all calculated automatically.
Best for:
Tantrum duration, on-task time, session engagement
Count discrete instances of a behavior with a single tap. Session totals, rate per minute, and trend across sessions calculated automatically. Supports multiple behaviors tracked simultaneously.
Best for:
Hitting, elopement, verbal behavior, any countable discrete behavior
Frequency data normalized against session duration — responses per minute. Accounts for variable session lengths so performance trends are comparable across sessions of different durations.
Best for:
Fluency-based programs, academic responding, high-frequency behaviors
Map behavior occurrence across time blocks and days to identify patterns, setting events, and antecedent conditions. Visual scatterplot renders automatically from collected data.
Best for:
FBA support, identifying temporal patterns in challenging behavior
Single-opportunity or multiple-opportunity probe trials to assess skill acquisition without training trials. Track maintenance and generalization probes separately from acquisition data. Mastery criteria apply independently.
Best for:
Generalization probes, maintenance checks, baseline assessment
Homes. Schools. Community settings. Places with bad Wi-Fi and no hotspot. SessionABA works in all of them.
When a BT opens SessionABA in the field, the app loads their full caseload — programs, targets, data sheets, and session history — from local storage. Every one of the 8 collection types works exactly as it does online. No reduced functionality. No workarounds. No paper backup.
The moment a BT's device reconnects — whether that is at the end of the session, driving back to the clinic, or connecting to home Wi-Fi — everything syncs automatically. BCBAs see the data in real time. Notes can be generated. Nothing is lost. Nothing is manual.

Session data does not sit in a silo. It flows directly into the AI note generator — automatically, without manual transfer.
Step 1
BT runs the session inside SessionABA — tapping trials, recording behaviors, tracking targets. All 8 collection types. Online or offline. Data is structured and timestamped per program.
Step 2
BT marks the session complete. The platform packages the full session record — data, targets addressed, session duration, behavioral observations — and passes it to the AI documentation engine.
Step 3
A complete, billing-code-aware session note appears for BCBA review. The Objective section is populated with the exact data from the session. No copy-paste. No transcription. No manual write-up.
BCBAs build programs from a library of 200+ evidence-based templates — or create fully custom programs from scratch. Every program links directly to data collection and billing.

Every program in the library comes pre-built with targets, prompting hierarchies, mastery criteria, and the correct data collection type pre-selected. BCBAs add a program to a client's treatment plan, customize the targets, and it is ready for the BT to run in the next session.
When a client meets mastery criteria across the required consecutive sessions, SessionABA flags the goal automatically. The BCBA receives an alert, reviews the data, and decides whether to advance, maintain, or modify the program. Nothing falls through the cracks.
Optimized for tablet use during sessions. Full-screen data collection. One-tap recording. The primary BT device.
Full functionality on mobile. BTs who prefer phone over tablet get the same experience.
BCBAs review data, build programs, and manage the caseload from a full browser view. Optimized for clinic and home office use.
