The Problem

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.

Lower parent satisfaction, higher discharge rate, lost referrals

Behavior crisis triage cant wait until morning

Some after-hours calls involve behavior crises (self-injury, family safety concerns). Voicemail and morning callback is too slow and creates safety risk.

Safety risk, parent panic, lost trust

RBT call-outs happen at all hours

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.

Lost billable hours, parent frustration, RBT bench underutilized

Bilingual after-hours coverage is impossible to staff

Staffing bilingual after-hours phone coverage is prohibitively expensive — leaving Spanish, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Korean-speaking families without support.

Equity gap, lost diverse-community trust, parent dissatisfaction

How Frontdesk Works
