VBMAPP vs Kestrel ABA

VB-MAPP for iOS! Created on behalf of Dr. Mark L. Sundberg, Ph.D., BCBA-D. The VB-MAPP is a criterion-referenced assessment tool, curriculum guide, and skill tracking system that is designed for children with autism, and other individuals who demonstrate language delays. The VB-MAPP is based on established developmental milestones, and research from the field of behavior analysis. The VB-MAPP App facilitates an unlimited number of assessments for each purchased student. Additional students can be unlocked via an in-app purchase. Additional students also enjoy an unlimited number of assessments. The objectives, materials, examples and scoring criterion are readily accessible as part of each question, making the process of conducting the VB-MAPP assessment much, much easier. The results are plotted on the scoring forms automatically saving you a significant amount of time. Built in video tutorials show how to add students, start assessments, explore the scoring forms and how to export the results to parents or colleagues. The entire contents of "the guide" is also built right into the app providing all the suggested IEP goals, guidance on materials that facilitate conducting the assessments and a vast library of information that can greatly enhance any verbal behavior, applied behavior analysis program.

Kestrel watches the payers you bill so you don't have to. For BCBAs and ABA clinic owners, a single quiet change to a Medicaid or commercial payer's policy — a new prior-authorization requirement, a revised fee schedule, a modifier rule, a change to covered CPT codes — can mean denied claims, failed audits, and lost revenue. These changes are buried in hundreds of provider manuals, bulletins, and fee schedules across all 50 states. Nobody has time to check them all. Kestrel does it for you, every day. WHAT KESTREL DOES • Monitors official Medicaid and commercial payer policy documents nationwide — provider manuals, bulletins, fee schedules, and coverage policies for ABA services. • Detects the moment a rule that affects ABA billing actually changes. • Sends a clear, plain-English alert: what changed, what it means for how you bill, the effective date, and a link to the source document. BUILT FOR HOW YOU WORK • Follow only the payers and states you care about — your alerts are scoped to your caseload. • Severity that respects your time: urgent billing changes notify you immediately; everything else arrives in a single daily digest. No noise. • Every alert is grounded in the source, linking straight to the official document so you can verify before you act. ASK KESTREL • Have a question about a payer's ABA policy? Ask in plain English and get an answer with citations to the exact documents — prior-auth rules, unit limits, covered codes, telehealth policies, and more. • If your payers' documents don't cover it, Kestrel says so instead of guessing.
