IEP/504 timelines are unforgiving
IEP evaluations have 60-day federal deadlines (state-specific variations). Missing the deadline triggers compliance issues and district complaints.
Compliance risk, lost district contracts, lower parent trust

The Problem
Multi-campus BCBA/RBT scheduling is fragmented
School-district ABA teams cover 3-15 campuses, each with different calendars, IEP timelines, and student rosters. Manual coordination drops the ball.
Scheduling errors, lost contract hours, BCBA/RBT burnout
Contract-hour tracking is admin-heavy
School-district ABA contracts specify hours per student per week. Without ongoing tracking, clinics either over-deliver (eat the cost) or under-deliver (compliance risk).
Lost contract revenue, compliance risk, district relationship strain
Bilingual parent communication is required
School-district ABA serves diverse families. Spanish, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Korean-speaking parents need bilingual IEP/504 coordination.
IEP non-compliance risk, parent disengagement, equity gap
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.
