Why teams switch to SessionABA
Honest take — what Motivity does well, and where SessionABA pulls ahead
What Motivity does well:
- Excellent data-collection UX — many BCBAs love its session view.
- Strong graphing and program-tracking features.
- Clean, modern interface for clinical workflows.
1Replace 3–4 tools with one
Motivity is data + programs. Most clinics still need a separate billing platform, telehealth tool, and scheduling system. SessionABA is all of that under one flat rate.
2Native EIDBI billing
Run claims, scrub for EIDBI grid compliance, and submit through MN-ITS without leaving the platform. No need for a separate billing vendor.
3AI session notes included
Session Scribe drafts a compliant note from the live session — Motivity's data does the inputs, but you still write the narrative manually.
4Parent portal + telehealth
Parents see progress, message the team, and join sessions through the same platform. No third-party Doxy or Zoom needed.

Common questions
Switching from Motivity
Is Motivity a complete ABA platform?+
Motivity focuses on data collection and program management. For billing, telehealth, and a parent portal, most Motivity clinics use additional tools. SessionABA covers all of those under one flat clinic rate.
Can I keep my Motivity data when switching?+
Yes. We migrate clients, programs, and historical session data during your onboarding. Migration usually takes about two weeks.
Does SessionABA's data collection match Motivity's?+
SessionABA includes all 8 standard data collection types — frequency, duration, interval, latency, ABC, task analysis, probe, and rate — with offline session mode and built-in graphing.
Why pay one bill instead of three?+
Most Motivity stacks (Motivity + billing tool + telehealth + parent portal) total more than SessionABA's flat $600 Clinic plan once you count all vendors. You also stop reconciling data across systems.
