Real User Experiences
Arizona Autism United, an industry leader in ABA, uses CentralReach to streamline its practice. As the organization grew and ABA shifted to insurance-funded, it became clear that they needed intuitive ABA-specific software that could adapt to the evolving industry changes. They needed software that was robust enough to streamline complex billing processes, facilitate optimization across all business functions, and maintain compliance. As such, they found CentralReach. What they most appreciate about CentralReach is the level of support they receive. The CEO of Arizona Autism United, Aaron Blocher-Rubin, BCBA, stated, “It’s definitely solved a lot of issues for us. I think what I’ve most appreciated is the level of support. And I’ve told [CentralReach CEO] Chris Sullens this: I don’t know any technology products that give us this much support.”
"Previously, we would rely on printouts of schedules and manually search for gaps that needed to be filled. This process was particularly challenging for us, as we operate on block schedules, requiring meticulous attention to detail. Creating new schedules multiple times throughout the year would take days, and the risk of human errors was always present. Since implementing CR ScheduleAI, Bloom Behavioral Solutions has experienced a remarkable improvement in efficiency. The streamlined process has cut down the time it takes to create new schedules by half." This not only saves Jennifer and the team valuable time but also allows the organization to redirect their efforts toward more critical tasks within the business.

The Role of Data Collection in ABA
In a data-driven field like ABA, data collection and analysis are critical. Data is needed to identify clients’ baseline levels, which inform goal creation and individualized program writing. From there, ongoing data collection provides valuable insights into the progression of care, allowing behavior analysts to make informed decisions to drive the best possible outcomes.
