First weeks of ABA service determine retention
Parents who feel unsupported in the first 30 days of ABA service are 3x more likely to discharge. Manual onboarding misses key touchpoints.

The Problem
Parents who feel unsupported in the first 30 days of ABA service are 3x more likely to discharge. Manual onboarding misses key touchpoints.
New ABA clients need consent forms, ABA service agreements, HIPAA acknowledgments, parent training agreements — manual follow-up fails.
Parent training is a Medicaid-required component of ABA — and a major outcome driver. Without structured kickoff, parent training gets deprioritized.
Spanish, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Korean-speaking parents need onboarding in their dominant language — and manual translation slows things down.
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.
