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 RBT (Registered Behavior Technician)? Role, Training & Responsibilities

The RBT credential was established by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) to create a standardized entry-level credential for direct therapy staff in ABA settings. Becoming an RBT requires completing 40 hours of training, passing a competency assessment, and passing the RBT examination. Annual renewal requires ongoing supervision and competency verification.

RBTs are the people who work directly with children in ABA sessions — running DTT programs, implementing naturalistic teaching, collecting ABC data, and executing the behavior plans written by the supervising BCBA. The quality of data an RBT collects directly affects the quality of clinical decisions the BCBA can make.

RBTs must receive ongoing supervision from a BCBA at a minimum rate defined by the BACB (currently 5% of total therapy hours). Supervision is increasingly delivered via technology — through video observation, telehealth, or review of session data in clinic management software.

In practice

A typical RBT runs 4–6 sessions per day, each lasting 1–3 hours. During each session, they implement skill acquisition programs, collect DTT trial data, log ABC data for any behavioral incidents, and write a brief session note. All of this documentation feeds into the BCBA's clinical review.

Key facts

Credentialed by the BACB; requires 40 hours training + exam

Delivers the direct therapy hours in ABA programs

Collects trial-by-trial DTT data and ABC behavioral observations

Must receive ongoing BCBA supervision (minimum 5% of hours)

Session documentation is a core part of the RBT role

How Theralyn helps

Theralyn is designed for the RBT's workflow — a mobile-friendly session execution screen where goals, trial counters, and ABC data are all accessible during the session. Data is captured as it happens, not reconstructed after.

Frequently asked questions

What is RBT (Registered Behavior Technician)?

A Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) is a paraprofessional who implements ABA therapy programs directly with clients, under the supervision of a BCBA or BCaBA. RBTs deliver the majority of direct therapy hours and collect session data according to the program designed by the supervising BCBA.
