## Key facts

**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.
