Long-form, criteria-driven, and updated on a published schedule.
Of fourteen ABA platforms checked against their own websites, exactly one publishes open developer documentation. What exists, what's a plan-feature bullet, what's webhooks-only — and the questions that separate them.
RESOURCE · 2026-08-13Most ABA software vendors publish no price at all — and the contract terms matter more than the sticker. Every published rate, term, and renewal clause we could find, in one place, with dates.
COMPARISON · 2026-08-13AlohaABA publishes its price — $29.99 per staff/month plus $12 per client for data collection — which makes every comparison unusually concrete. The documented alternatives, with their published rates beside it.
COMPARISON · 2026-08-13Catalyst's public product pages now redirect to Ensora Health's general site. If that has you re-evaluating, here are the documented data-collection alternatives — and the questions to ask Ensora before you move anything.
RESOURCE · 2026-08-13The free 40-hour RBT training that half a million people have used, verified free CEU sources, and the free-to-consume-paid-to-certify traps — every claim checked against the provider's own site.
COMPARISON · 2026-08-13Hi Rasmus leads with supervision, telehealth, and caregiver collaboration — and publishes no pricing. The documented alternatives, organized by the two questions that actually decide this evaluation.
COMPARISON · 2026-08-06Fourteen ABA platforms recorded against five checkable columns — documented modules, published pricing, named integrations, stated compliance, and public API documentation. Every cell sourced to the vendor's own website.
COMPARISON · 2026-08-06Published entry pricing, seat and client minimums, contract length, implementation fees, and what each vendor's own terms say about your data if you leave — for practices with one to five clinicians.
GUIDE · 2026-08-06Federal decision deadlines, the documentation payers actually review, and the appeal path — including the 10-day window that keeps your child's hours running while the appeal is decided.
GUIDE · 2026-08-06There is no consensus number. CMS reports an average of 17.33 hours per week in Medicaid in 2025, says 40 hours is not a best practice, and states are writing hour thresholds into policy. Here is what the documents say.
GUIDE · 2026-08-06The Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts has four core principles and 85 standards across six sections. Here is how it is organized, the provisions that generate the most enforcement activity, and what the BACB has and has not announced about revisions.
GUIDE · 2026-08-06EPSDT, state plan coverage, 1915(c) waivers and state insurance mandates are four different legal systems. Which one pays for your child's ABA depends on which door you are standing in front of.
GUIDE · 2026-08-06The BACB's 2027 requirements change degree, coursework, fieldwork and CE rules for BCBA and BCaBA applicants on January 1, 2027, and pathways 3 and 4 disappear. Every change here is sourced to the BACB document that states it.
GUIDE · 2026-08-06The BCBA first-time pass rate was 51% in 2025, the lowest in the BACB's published series. Here is the national trend, what the 2024 university-level report actually contains, and why single-year program rates are weaker evidence than they look.
GUIDE · 2026-08-06What the BACB actually requires for supervised fieldwork, RBT supervision and supervisor qualification — the hours, the ratios, the contacts and the observations, taken from the current handbooks. Plus why CMS now says the 5% RBT minimum is a floor, not a target.
COMPARISON · 2026-08-06What CentralReach publishes about its own platform, what the other ABA platforms publish about theirs, and a four-part framework — data export, contract terms, implementation, integration coverage — for evaluating whether a switch makes sense.
ANALYSIS · 2026-08-06In August 2026 CMS issued a 173-page Medicaid and CHIP toolkit on applied behavior analysis — the first federal document of its kind. It reports ABA spending rising 421% in four years and $198.4 million in improper payments. Here is what it actually says, and what changes for behavior analysts.
GUIDE · 2026-08-06The regulatory path to opening an ABA clinic: business entity, state behavior-analyst licensure, NPI types 1 and 2, Medicaid screening and enrollment, and commercial credentialing. What gates what, with the federal rules and state examples that set the clock.
GUIDE · 2026-08-06What the BACB permits for remote supervision, what state Medicaid programs allow for ABA telehealth and what they restrict, why a BCBA generally needs a license where the client is, and what telehealth modifiers and place-of-service codes do to a claim.
GUIDE · 2026-08-06Ownership of the large multi-site ABA organizations, sourced only to dated company announcements, SEC filings and peer-reviewed or government research. Plus what CMS and JAMA Pediatrics actually report about ownership concentration in autism services.
RESOURCE · 2026-08-02There is no federal wage code for board certified behavior analysts. Here is the closest official data — BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics for May 2025, state by state — with an honest account of what it does and does not measure.
ANALYSIS · 2026-08-02No one publishes a real ranking of ABA providers, so we built one from the federal NPI registry. 234 companies hold three or more registered locations; the largest holds 94. What the data shows, and what it can't.
RESOURCE · 2026-08-02ABA is billed in 15-minute units against CPT codes, so there is no single price. Here are the real numbers from state Medicaid fee schedules and TRICARE's published rate table, with effective dates — and an honest account of the prices nobody publishes.
GUIDE · 2026-08-02The exact BCBA requirements as of August 2026 — degree, 315 coursework hours, 2,000 or 1,500 fieldwork hours, the exam, and the fees — plus what changes on January 1, 2027, sourced line by line to the BACB's own documents.
GUIDE · 2026-08-02What it actually takes to become a Registered Behavior Technician: the BACB's exact eligibility requirements, the $110 in fees, the 2026 rule changes, the exam, and how recertification works. Sourced entirely to BACB documents, with dates.
ANALYSIS · 2026-07-19Medicaid reimbursement for the core ABA therapy code varies more than 50% state to state, from about $12 to nearly $19 per 15 minutes. Here's what the published fee schedules actually show, and why the gap shapes who can get autism care.
GUIDE · 2026-07-19A complete, independent guide to ABA data collection — the measurement methods (frequency, duration, interval, ABC), how to choose software, offline collection, and the mistakes that quietly ruin data. Written for BCBAs and practice owners.
RESOURCE · 2026-07-19How much does Medicaid pay for ABA? A primary-source guide to reimbursement rates for the adaptive behavior CPT codes — the state-by-state spread, why it varies, and the fee-for-service vs. managed-care trap.
RESOURCE · 2026-07-18The adaptive behavior codes explained one at a time, with the national range each one actually pays across every state Medicaid schedule we have verified — and which codes most states do not price at all.
ANALYSIS · 2026-07-18Beyond the hype: the AI features ABA vendors actually document today — session notes, claims auditing, scheduling, treatment plans, and FDA-regulated diagnostics — plus the questions to ask before turning any of it on.
COMPARISON · 2026-07-18The real ABA billing decision isn't which tool — it's software for your biller versus a done-for-you service. The honest math, the questions that expose weak providers, and the independent landscape.
COMPARISON · 2026-07-18Dedicated data collection tools and integrated platform modules, compared independently — with the integrated-versus-dedicated decision explained and every capability checked against current vendor documentation.
ANALYSIS · 2026-07-18Therapy Brands became Ensora Health in April 2025. Since then, the public trail of its ABA products — Catalyst, NPAWorks, WebABA — has been consolidating. Here's what's documented, what isn't, and what buyers should ask.
RESOURCE · 2026-07-18Every free and low-cost BACB continuing education source we could verify against the provider's own site, with the catch on each one — including where to get free ethics and supervision CEUs, which are the hardest to find.
COMPARISON · 2026-07-18Twelve platforms compared by an independent directory — organized by what each is actually best at, with pricing transparency tracked and a published methodology. No vendor wrote this.
GUIDE · 2026-07-18Every tooling decision a new ABA practice makes, in the order you'll actually face them — with budget-conscious defaults, the traps, and what can wait.
GUIDE · 2026-07-18The honest guide to changing your practice management or data collection software — what transfers, what doesn't, how long it really takes, and when staying put is the right call.
What practices actually pay — published when survey data supports it.
First guides publish after the initial verification pass — the research is underway now.
