Parents call evenings and weekends with urgent concerns
Parents of children with autism call after hours about behavior concerns, RBT no-shows, schedule changes, and reassurance. Voicemail kills the trust ABA practices depend on.

Pushes call records into CentralReach, Rethink Behavioral Health, Catalyst, AccuPoint, Lumary, Total ABA, Theralytics, and TheraBe. HIPAA-compliant by design.

The Problem
Parents of children with autism call after hours about behavior concerns, RBT no-shows, schedule changes, and reassurance. Voicemail kills the trust ABA practices depend on.
Some after-hours calls involve behavior crises (self-injury, family safety concerns). Voicemail and morning callback is too slow and creates safety risk.
RBTs call out evenings and weekends for next-day shifts. Without after-hours coverage, the call-out isnt addressed until morning — and the shift goes unfilled.
Staffing bilingual after-hours phone coverage is prohibitively expensive — leaving Spanish, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Korean-speaking families without support.
How Frontdesk Works
Built for therapy practices and clinics on SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, Jane App, CentralReach, TheraNest, Fusion Web Clinic — and every other major EHR. HIPAA-compliant by design with BAA, encrypted PHI, and audit logs.
