DashTrial is the session-to-report platform for BCBAs, RBTs, and clinic teams. Simple enough to run during a session, rigorous enough to defend in supervision. DATA COLLECTION, SIMPLIFIED Record all 10 ABA data types in one unbroken flow — accuracy, frequency, duration, task analysis, rate, latency, interval recording, ABC data, probe, and scatterplot. Tap once per trial and move straight to the next target, without losing momentum during a session. ANALYSIS WITHOUT THE SPREADSHEETS Every session automatically feeds real-time graphs — trend lines, phase-change lines, celeration charts, and ABC visualizations. No exports, no manual formatting, no spreadsheet archaeology. NOTES THAT WRITE THEMSELVES Session data drafts your progress note automatically. Review, adjust the tone, and sign. Supervisors can co-sign with a single tap, and every note stays ready to drop into any EHR or documentation system. SCHEDULING THAT KNOWS YOUR TEAM Schedule sessions, assign providers, attach service codes, and loop in supervisors — all in one flow. Rotating schedules for recurring service days, conflict detection across providers and locations, and calendar sync with Google and Microsoft 365. BUILT FOR COLLABORATION Role-based access keeps providers, RBTs, and supervisors coordinated without sharing logins. Paraprofessionals and assistants can collect data with scoped permissions, without seeing caseload-wide reports. Track group sessions for up to eight students at once, each with its own timers and targets. MEDICAID BILLING, BUILT IN Service codes live inside every session event, keeping scheduling, documentation, and billing aligned end-to-end. Auto-generated notes are ready to drop into your state's Medicaid portal — no reformatting required. TREATMENT PLANS & TEMPLATES Build, version, and revise treatment plans with every change tracked and signed. Use curated templates for common payers and school districts, or build your own with reusable blocks. SECURE & COMPLIANT DashTrial is HIPAA-compliant and SOC 2 Type II certified, with FERPA-aligned safeguards for school-based teams. We'll sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) on any paid plan.
