The Challenge

How might we reduce burnout and improve care quality in ABA therapy through smarter digital tools?

The Crisis in ABA Therapy

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is a research-based approach that supports individuals, especially those with autism, by analyzing and modifying behavior. While essential, the field is facing a serious crisis:

  • • 65%+ turnover rate among therapists
  • • 72% of professionals report burnout

Key Pain Points

Through interviews with 130+ ABA therapists, we identified that administrative overload is a major source of stress, leading to:

  • • Inconsistent data collection and documentation
  • • Poor communication between technicians and supervisors
  • • High operational costs due to turnover and retraining
  • • Disrupted care continuity for clients

Research & Insights

Our comprehensive research process helped us understand the complex ecosystem of ABA therapy

Research Methods

  • Stakeholder Interviews

    130+ interviews with ABA therapists, supervisors, and facility managers

  • Contextual Inquiry

    Field visits to observe therapists in their work environment

  • Artifact Analysis

Key Findings

  • Documentation Overload

    Therapists spend 40% of their time on administrative tasks

  • Communication Gaps

    Critical information often lost between shifts and team members

  • Data Quality Issues

    Inconsistent data collection methods impact treatment effectiveness
