Total Therapy Reviews

Pros

We are in the early stages of using the product and have been pleased with the customer support aspect of the product. We are a behavioral practice that is set in our data collection ways and the team at TotalABA have been very helpful with creating solutions within their updates to make our collection methods possible.

Cons

The cons on the system are the lack of customizations after a goal has been placed in treatment planning. Additionally, there are several little aspects and buttons that must be selected to get things set up correctly and they are easily missed when setting up new clients.

Pros

They have a great team at Total ABA that is always very responsive and available to assist quickly. I appreciate the many customizations they created for our practice.[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] has been very creative in figuring out how to customize many features to our needs. This Salesforce platform seems to be very flexible and capable to handle a lot. I really like that we can run almost every type of report using the many filters available on reports.

Cons

I do not use their Data Collection features mainly because they do not have an App with offline capabilities yet. An App is something we would really want for Data Collection, and now providers need to login to a separate software to take data and separately to Total ABA for billing, which is not ideal.

Alternatives Considered

AccuPoint and Theralytics

Reasons for Switching to Total Therapy

1) Total ABA used the Salesforce platform 2) They have the best customer service 3) Very affordable pricing 4) I was under the impression that they will integrate with a different good App for Data Collection

Pros

There is absolutely nothing great or even good about this product.

Cons

There is absolutely no way this platform was created by anyone that knows anything about ABA. It is not used friendly, there are so few features to be able to analyze data (you know, Applied behavior Analysis!? THe graphs it creates are extremely low quality and do not allow for any form of analysis that would be helpful in making informed decisions about treatment. It takes an unbelievable amount of time to input goals and treatment plans into this system, and if you need to change something, you must erase and start over. I have used two other platforms including Central Reach and Catalyst and I didn't love either until I was forced to use this system. I would pay to have either one of those back at this point. There are features that seem cool, like being able to select different types of prompts used, but get this! You can not even see that information anywhere! So it is just a bunch of pretty things that do nothing for an behavior analyst except confuse RBT's and get incorrect data because of it. THis all affects the clients who are relying on us for accurate data collection to make informed choices about their care. We hav reached out to TABA for help that they promised in the contract they would give if there were services we needed, to no avail.

Pros

I like how everything is in one place for scheduling, data collection, and programming.

Cons

Sometimes, especially the data collection portion is a little difficult to use, especially when I am adding targets.

Pros

We use TotalABA to support our scheduling, billing and reporting activities. TotalABA is easy for our staff to learn. It is easy to build client records. It is fantastic for helping supervisors and managers track and follow up on activities completed and activities still outstanding. I love the reporting features. There is seldom a management question that comes up that I cannot figure out how to run a report to get an answer. It is terrific for providing data for audits. It is terrific for giving one source for staff to get client information whether they are providing services in clinic or in the community. It interfaces will with our billing company. We have expanded the use of data elements into two additional divisions.

Cons

I wish it could interface closer with our e-mail system. The new parent portal features may address that but we have not explored it yet.

Pros

Seeing the graphs in real time for each behavior. The ability to set the measurement and mastery criteria.

Cons

The process for writing reports was very tedious and inflexible. In my case I had different funders wanting varying degrees of information. I was stuck creating a report where in some cases I had to remove unnecessary parts or add parts. The length of the resulting reports was not parent friendly.

Pros

Total ABA is easy to use and navigate. Great and useful features and the reporting aspects are detailed and a HUGE time saver.

Cons

The messaging system is a useful feature to have. I would recommend making it appear as more of a traditional email set up.

Pros

EASY TO USE FOR NOTES AND DATA COLLECTION

Cons

THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS WE WANT TO DO BUT CAN'T FIGURE OUT EVERYTHING EASILY. HAVE TO EMAIL SUPPORT AND ASK THEM HOW TO DO THINGS.

Pros

The software is user friendly and relative.

Cons

It seems it is still a work in progress but it appears it is keeping up with the growth of the industry.

Pros

I like how it feels as dependable and reliable as the electric company - I never have to spend energy thinking about it.

Cons

The interface didn't feel as modern as the tastes that my users demand, so I did build a custom interface around it.

Pros

Billing features and ability to sync with billing softwares

Cons

Not user friendly. Not a lot of features
