With an emphasis on streamlining administrative tasks and improving clinical outcomes, CR Essentials provides all the tools needed to manage the day-to-day operations of a growing practice while ensuring compliance with industry standards. CR Essentials is ideal for small and startup ABA therapy providers, mental health professionals, and therapy practices focused on speech, occupational, or physical therapy. Whether you're just starting out or expanding, CR Essentials is designed to support growth without overwhelming your team with complex administrative processes. AI-Powered Session Note Summaries: AI-powered session note summaries automatically generate progress note summaries for ABA therapy sessions, freeing up time to focus more on delivering quality care to clients. Clinicians can trust that documentation remains accurate and compliant while spending less time on administrative tasks. Customizable Data Collection & Progress Tracking: CR Essentials allows for real-time data collection using customizable templates. This feature ensures that you can track client progress efficiently, adjust treatment plans as needed, and document outcomes with accuracy. Data collection is integral for ABA therapy, where individualized care is critical, and this platform makes it seamless. Scheduling & Appointment Management: The platform includes an intuitive scheduling tool that enables users to manage appointments, view pre-scheduled sessions, and avoid conflicts. Automatic appointment reminders can also be sent to clients, reducing no-shows and streamlining the client experience. Billing & Claims Management: CR Essentials simplifies complex billing processes, including insurance claims submission, tracking, and reporting. Integrated billing tools ensure that small practices can easily manage finances, reducing errors and delays. This feature is especially valuable for practices that deal with multiple insurance providers or complex billing codes.

This flexibility ensures that whether you are in the office or out in the field, you can manage your practice effectively. HR & Payroll Management: The platform also offers built-in HR tools, enabling practices to manage staff credentials, certifications, and payroll. Automated alerts notify team members when certifications are nearing expiration, ensuring compliance with training and credentialing requirements. Administrators can track employee performance, assign pay rates, and store critical documents, all in one place. The combination of robust administrative features, time-saving AI technology, and comprehensive support makes CentralReach Essentials the go-to solution for small ABA therapy and IDD care practices. It simplifies operations, supports growth, and empowers clinicians to focus more on client care, all while maintaining a flexible, scalable infrastructure that can adapt to the evolving needs of modern therapy practices.

Behaviorsoft for ABA Providers and EVV Users

Very good. We were offered a free trial period to familiarize ourselves with the software before we committed fully, we were even given special offers for the mobile app. We are very happy with the way all visits are completed and sent smoothly to Tellus. Their merge with Tellus has been very successful for us. The only issues we had were with Tellus and never with Behaviorsoft and we are currently billing very easily with matched visits and easy solutions for errors. This system gives us peace of mind knowing everything is checked.

Pros

The support offered to us from Behaviorsoft is exceptional. Even though we've found glitches or struggled to adjust the software to our particular way of working in the beginning during the transition, what convinced me to stick with them is that they are fast to respond, they're available at all times and offer quick solutions that fit our specific needs. They've made modifications to the software just based on our request and are very professional and knowledgeable. Especially [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN]

Cons

The way the replacements are graphed is still something we'd like to perfect. There is always room for improvement of course, but there is nothing that I can say that I like the least about the software, just things we'd like to personalize in the future.

CentralReach

Reasons for Switching to CR Essentials

The fact that they were integrated and contracted with AHCA/Medicaid to offer EVV services and send visits to TELLUS and again, the excellent personalized customer service. These other very large companies are so big that they loose the personal touch with their clients and it was too complicated to contact someone, not always the same person, and too complex to navigate for our users. Behaviorsoft is more available to use to discuss concerns and errors and is much easier to use for our employees. Also, the features they offered matched our clinical system better.

Amazing product- Well worth the investment!

Pros

I cannot sing enough praises about Behaviorsoft. It is easy to use, effective, and tracks so many different components. It combines many features into one program, allowing for better overall therapy. I love the data tracking features and goals developed. It took much of the extra work out of writing behavior plans. I also enjoy the session notes. They are simple for staff to complete, but provide a wealth of information for me as an analyst. Billing could not be easier. I don't have to spend hours creating claims.

Cons

The only aspect of improvement I have see so far is submission to Medicaid services for initial referrals. I have not found how to attach documents to send to insurance companies to approve services. Currently, these have to be done in the various portals of the insurance companies. If Behaviorsoft had the ability to send the documents through to respective insurance companies, it would remove some extra hassle. As a new company, these approvals were difficult to navigate and put off gaining needed reimbursement.

Not good, use Theralytics instead

Decent to start with but not a good system overall. Lots of improvements to be made

Pros

Fairly cheap, simple to add programs. Scheduling was ok.

Cons

All around not a good data collection system. Could not add other types of measurement systems, did not have SD or instructions on the apps for programs, could not modify graphs. Access to their library of programs was locked behind paywall. Just use Theralytics

Love this software

So far it's been extremely wonderful. Customer service is Amazing. I do wish there was someone I could call instead of necessarily having to email. But again, so far this has been a great experience.

Pros

Being able to put all my therapist data as well as my client data in there and have it track for me is amazing. Also the idea of putting in data and having it produce notes and reviews is amazing.

Cons

I would love to be able to incorporate my activity based therapies into the software as well. I hear it's being beta tested and I hope to get into the group testing it out.
I also wish that you could integrate behave yourself with QuickBooks so that way accounting could be tracked through the software as well.

You get what you pay for

It was a pretty good product when it was Behaviorsoft. After the rebranding to CR Essentials the problems began. It locks down devices, which must then be completely restarted. It doesn't always transfer all of the data to the server, so I have to try and remember how many trials were run, or just do it on paper and pencil, which defeats the purpose of paying for the mobile app. Customer service is slow to respond and often times unable to fix glitches, thereby delaying critical processes.

Pros

It is a cheap option for small companies

Cons

Constantly crashingNot uploading mobile data to the systemCustomer service is slow and often times not able to fix the problem

Behaviorsoft, everything you could ask for in a practice management/data collection platform

Pros

We did demos on every other major platform out there for new behavior therapy practice. Behavior soft has all the features of products that were far more expensive and it was hands down the easiest to use. There was no need for endless training meetings, we were literally able to log in and figure out where everything we needed was in minutes. The user interface is clean, well laid out and intuitive to use. If you have used any other data collection platform in the past, this will be a breeze for you to hop on and go to work quickly.

Cons

There really just wasn't anything to dislike about the platform.

Behaviorsoft has everything you need

[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and the team at Behaviorsoft are very easy to work with. Our contact [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN], did a video presentation/training with our team and answered any questions they had. They respond very quickly to any issues that have come up and I know if I encounter a problem they will do everything they can to fix it.

Pros

The program is very user friendly and easy to learn. I was able to add our staff into the system quickly and the features in the program allow me to track expiration dates on certifications and other areas to ensure we stay up to date. Client/patient information was easy to add and my staff are able to add their notes and post time quickly as well as chart and graph progress easily. Our Director is able to view all out clients in one spot and can message the technician directly to provide feedback.

Cons

None so far. I haven't encountered anything that I don't like
