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 an IEP (Individualized Education Program)? Guide for Therapists & Parents

The IEP is the central planning document for a child's special education. It is developed collaboratively by an IEP team that includes the parents, the child's teachers, a special education administrator, and often related service providers (OT, SLP, BCBA). The IEP describes where the child is currently (Present Levels of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance — PLAAFP), where they need to go (annual goals), and what supports will be provided to get there.

Annual goals in an IEP must be measurable — they must specify what the child will do, under what conditions, to what level of accuracy, and within what timeframe. OT, SLP, and ABA goals are often written into IEPs for children receiving these services through the school. Progress toward IEP goals must be reported to parents at regular intervals (at least as often as report cards).

Related services documented in an IEP — including OT, SLP, and sometimes ABA — must specify the frequency, duration, location, and start/end dates of service delivery. When a related service provider documents their sessions, they must tie their notes back to the IEP goals the child is working toward.

In practice

IEP meetings are held annually, with progress monitoring throughout the year. OTs and SLPs who provide school-based services write progress reports on IEP goals for these meetings. ABA therapists working in school settings often coordinate with the IEP team and may contribute to goal development or provide data for annual reviews.

Key facts

How Theralyn helps

Theralyn supports tracking progress toward IEP-aligned therapy goals across sessions. Session data and goal achievement rates are readily available when it's time to write IEP progress reports or prepare for annual reviews.

Frequently asked questions

What is IEP (Individualized Education Program)?

An Individualized Education Program (IEP) is a legally mandated document developed for students with disabilities in the US under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). It outlines the student's present levels of performance, annual therapy and academic goals, and the special education services they will receive.
