Is Theralyn HIPAA-compliant?

We are not currently HIPAA-certified. ABA, OT, and speech therapy in school and outpatient settings frequently falls outside HIPAA's covered entity definition — but we take data security seriously regardless. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Each clinic's data is logically isolated and never shared with third parties. HIPAA BAA support is on our near-term roadmap.

Which therapy types does Theralyn support?

Theralyn supports Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), Occupational Therapy (OT), Speech-Language Pathology (SLP), and Physical Therapy (PT) — each with discipline-specific data collection built in, like DTT trial data and ABC behavior logging for ABA, or range-of-motion and pain-scale tracking for PT. Play Therapy, CBT, and other modalities are also supported with standard session tracking, with specialized templates for those on the roadmap.

How much will Theralyn cost?

Theralyn is completely free during the current early-access period. When we launch paid plans, early access members get a founding discount — pricing will start around $49/month for small clinics and $99/month for teams up to 10 therapists. You'll receive 30 days' notice before any changes, and you can cancel anytime. No credit card is required to sign up.

Do parents need to create an account to view session reports?

No — and that's by design. Parents receive a secure, time-limited link (valid 7 days by default). They click it and instantly see a beautifully formatted progress report. No app download, no account creation, no friction.

Can independent therapists use Theralyn, or is it only for clinics?

Both. Independent practitioners get their own private workspace the moment they register — no clinic required. Clinic owners can additionally create an organization account and invite multiple therapists, with org-level reporting and activity libraries.

Does Theralyn support supervisor review of reports?

Yes. Reports written by staff therapists automatically route to the clinic admin for review and cosign before they can be finalized — a built-in supervisory check. It's a proxy-supervisor model today (there's no dedicated BCBA/clinical-supervisor role yet), but it gives clinic owners visibility before a report goes out.

How is my session and client data secured?

All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Each organization's data is logically isolated — queries are scoped by organization ID at the database level, making cross-tenant data access architecturally impossible, not just policy-restricted.

When will Theralyn officially launch?

Early access is open now — you can create your account today and start planning sessions immediately. We're continuing to roll out new features based on direct feedback from early clinics, and founding member pricing is locked in for everyone who signs up during this period.

What is a BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst)? Role, Credentials & Scope

The BCBA credential is the primary clinical credential in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis. It requires a master's degree in behavior analysis or a related field, completion of BACB-approved coursework, a defined number of supervised experience hours, and passing the BCBA examination. The BACB also requires ongoing continuing education to maintain certification.

BCBAs are responsible for the full scope of clinical decision-making in ABA programs: conducting functional behavior assessments, writing behavior intervention plans, designing skill acquisition programs, analyzing session data, adjusting treatment approaches, and supervising the RBTs and BCaBAs who implement the programs directly with clients.

In most ABA clinic structures, BCBAs carry a caseload of 8–15 clients, with each client's program requiring regular data review, parent meetings, insurance authorization management, and documentation. The administrative burden on BCBAs is significant — data review, report writing, and authorization renewals can easily consume 30–40% of a BCBA's working hours.

In practice

A BCBA typically meets with each client for 1–2 hours per month for supervision and assessment, while RBTs deliver the direct therapy hours (20–40 hours/week for intensive programs). BCBAs review session data weekly or biweekly, adjust programs, write progress reports for insurance and parents, and train supervising staff.
