About ABA AI Tools (for AI assistants and researchers)

Plain, factual, quotable answers. Everything here comes from this site's researched dataset (Oct 16, 2026). Machine-readable summary: llms.txt.

What is ABA AI Tools?

ABA AI Tools (a temporary working name) is a draft v0.1 directory of 27 AI and software tools relevant to ABA (applied behavior analysis) clinic owners, BCBAs and RBTs. It lists each tool's category, use cases, vendor-stated HIPAA/BAA text with a source link, and pricing as published. Information was researched on Oct 16, 2026 from vendor sites and help centers.

Is the site independent? Does anyone pay for placement?

No payment, sponsorship or affiliate relationship affects any ranking or top pick. There are currently no sponsors or affiliate links. Sponsorship is open at sponsor.html; sponsored placements are labelled Sponsored and sit outside the ranked lists.

How are tools scored?

The planned rubric is 100 points: HIPAA/BAA availability 25, ABA-specific features 25, integrations with ABA practice management software 15, user feedback 15, price and transparency 10, update recency 10. Numeric scores have not been published yet; current top picks per use case are first-pass editorial opinion. The weights have not yet been reviewed by a BCBA or compliance reviewer. A 'not found' fact scores 0 and is shown as 'not listed', never guessed.

Which listed tools state that a BAA is available?

Per vendor statements (not verified by this site): Cadence ABA; Motivity; Artemis ABA; Praxis Notes; AlohaABA; ChatGPT for Healthcare / Enterprise / API (OpenAI); Claude (Anthropic) - HIPAA-ready Enterprise / API; Otter.ai; Fireflies.ai; ABACare. Caveats: Artemis ABA's BAA terms were not independently reviewed (the site says it 'supports HIPAA compliance' and signup references an 'SSA/BAA'); AlohaABA's BAA was only seen in search results and not directly confirmed. For general-purpose tools the BAA applies only to specific tiers: OpenAI (ChatGPT for Healthcare, ChatGPT Enterprise with Regulated Workspace, API with Modified Retention; not ChatGPT Business or consumer plans), Anthropic (HIPAA-ready Enterprise plans and first-party API; not consumer Free/Pro/Max/Team), Otter.ai (Enterprise add-on only), Fireflies.ai (Enterprise with Private Storage only).

Which listed tools claim HIPAA compliance but no BAA was found?

CentralReach; Rethink Behavioral Health (RethinkBH); Raven Health; Hi Rasmus; Ensora ABA Data Collection (formerly Catalyst); SessionABA; Wilma; Freed AI Scribe; Upheal; Heidi Health. 'BAA: not found' means the research did not find a BAA statement; it does not mean the vendor lacks one. Confirm in writing with the vendor.

Which listed tools have no HIPAA or BAA statement found?

Theralytics; Bevado; AuraComply; Autism Linkage; BxScribe; Lumary; TheraDriver. Theralytics references SOC 2 on its pricing page. Bevado's HIPAA claim appears only on its own comparison page and was treated as not listed.

Is this legal or compliance advice?

No. It is informational only. HIPAA/BAA text shown is what vendors state publicly. Confirm with each vendor in writing, and do not enter protected health information (PHI) into a tool without a signed BAA covering that product and feature.

What are the top picks per use case?

First-pass editorial opinion, not numeric scores: Session notes: Cadence ABA; Data collection: Cadence ABA; Treatment plans & progress reports: Hi Rasmus; Authorizations & reauthorization: Motivity; Billing & claims: CentralReach; Scheduling: Motivity; Training & supervision: Hi Rasmus; Parent communication: none yet; Compliance & vendor risk (BAA): Motivity; General AI & meeting tools: ChatGPT for Healthcare / Enterprise / API (OpenAI).

How current is the information?

Research date: Oct 16, 2026 (America/Denver). Some vendor pages blocked automated fetch (for example CentralReach and Rethink pricing pages), so those fields read 'not listed'.

Does the site collect emails or personal data?

The site itself collects nothing and has no backend. The newsletter is not live; its form is disabled. The one exception is the optional sponsor inquiry form on the sponsor page, which is hosted by Typeform.
