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 Data Collection in ABA & Child Therapy? Methods & Best Practices

Data collection is what separates evidence-based practice from guesswork. Without consistent, accurate data, therapists cannot objectively determine whether a child is progressing toward goals, whether an intervention is working, or whether it's time to modify the treatment approach. In ABA especially, 'if you're not measuring it, you're not treating it' is a foundational principle.

Data collection methods vary by the type of skill or behavior being measured. Frequency recording counts how many times a behavior occurs in a session. Duration recording measures how long a behavior lasts. Interval recording (partial or whole interval) samples behavior within defined time windows. Latency recording measures the time between an instruction and the response. Trial-by-trial recording (used in DTT) documents each teaching trial as correct, prompted, or incorrect.

The challenge of data collection is the practical burden it places on therapists during sessions. Recording data accurately while also engaging therapeutically with a child requires practice and good systems. Paper data sheets are error-prone and time-consuming to compile. Digital data collection during sessions reduces transcription errors and eliminates the post-session data entry step.

In practice

An RBT implementing an ABA program might collect trial-by-trial data on 5 skill targets, frequency data on 2 problem behaviors, and ABC data for any behavioral incidents — all within a single 2-hour session. Historically this was done on paper; digital tools have made real-time data collection more practical.

Key facts

Methods: frequency, duration, interval, latency, trial-by-trial

Trial-by-trial (correct/prompted/incorrect) is standard in DTT programs

Digital data collection during sessions reduces errors and post-session transcription

Data is reviewed by BCBAs to guide treatment decisions

Required for insurance authorization, NDIS reporting, and IEP compliance

How Theralyn helps

Theralyn's live session execution screen is built around real-time data collection — goal counters, ABC logging, and session notes captured during the session, not reconstructed after. No data sheets, no post-session transcription.

Frequently asked questions

What is Data Collection in Therapy?

Data collection in therapy is the systematic process of recording measurable behavioral and performance information during and after therapy sessions. It provides the objective evidence base for clinical decision-making, treatment adjustments, and progress reporting to parents and funding bodies.
