Senior Behavior Therapist

Rethink is a user friendly option for medical providers of all skill levels that allow for sustainable and ongoing training to complete needed documentation and data collection in a timely manner.

Some pros of using RethinkBH as an RBT are that it allows data collection and session notes to be completed electronically, which helps reduce paperwork and keeps everything organized in one place.

Behavior Therapist

My overall experience has been positive in offering useful tools for behavior tracking, skill acquisition programming, session documentation, and progress monitoring, which support efficient clinical workflow and organization.

In addition, the app tends to drain my device battery significantly during sessions. Although the platform has useful features and potential, I think improvements to the app’s reliability, syncing, and overall user experience would make it much more effective for RBTs in the field.

Registered Behavioral Technician

I have had some issues in the past in terms of proper saving of data, but in general it does what I need for my client in terms of documenting our sessions, and provides necessary resources for staff.

Behavior technician

The platform helps with scheduling, session notes, billing, and data collection all in one place.

Senior Behavior Technician

With this new update it does not allow syncing for skills/behaviors unless the minimum trials were inputted, despite if skill was not practiced or behavior didn’t occur.

Board Certified Behavior Analyst

I have been able to search and find many webinars on topics of interest, as well as look through the catalog to find topics I have not even thought of.

It also has a very unreliable highlighting function, in case I need to move sentences around in my notes or delete a lot at once.

Having scheduling, documentation, and data collection all within one system is convenient and helps sessions run more efficiently.

There were occasional navigation challenges and system delays, but the platform overall helped improve communication, consistency, and collaboration among team members while supporting effective service delivery.

I have also experienced multiple syncing issues where my data duplicated three or four times, which is frustrating and raises concerns about accuracy.

Sometimes the website won’t allow you to move programs from baseline to teaching, which can delay collecting accurate data.

Behavioral technician

When your not using app that it will log you out after a couple minutes and having to begin a new session again and if you choose continue taking data the sun button isn’t available.

Record keeping on behalf of staff and client, easy to access company resources, client programs, program library, easy to create clinical templates, easy to generate treatment reports,

Overall a good program for behavioral health data collection, with intuitive interfaces across different types of users such as therapists, supervisors, or parents.

In addition, I like how the duration is very accurate when taking data and how the notes section is very helpful during my sessions.

Registered behavior technician

All of the collected data graphs itself, easy to collect correct data as you work on programs as it is readily available and can easily log in to update a note if need be.

From an administrative standpoint, Rethink provides a strong foundation for managing documentation and staff workflows.

It's better than using paper and excel spreadsheets for everything like we used to, as well as being able to change schedules easily

I also have trouble viewing probe targets and mileage information for driving between clients within the app.

It makes clear indications what sessions are scheduled or cancelled, and makes billing a clearly communicated detail.

Rethink allows our clinicians and parents to access client information with ease and up to date information.

behavorial therapist

It can occasionally freeze, forcing me to restart the app, which can disrupt the flow of data collection.

Behavioral Therapist

The platform is user-friendly and makes documentation, scheduling, and patient management more organized and efficient.

A lot of your competitors are coming out with features that are built-in to their core product while ReThink keeps their focus on their integration partners.

I like that we can see other staff’s calendars, when appropriate, as we can help to enter their schedules.

It appears the system at times will overload if being used at similar times to other providers within the network slowing down other services.

Therapist

Getting logged out and not being able to do our notes thoughout the session definitely makes doing session notes stressful.

The platform is also helpful for accessing client information remotely and staying organized across multiple cases.

I appreciate that it makes data collection and session notes very simple and self-explanatory for all staff.

At times, the system duplicates or deletes data, which creates frustration and concerns about accuracy.

Collecting data on rethink allows for more accurate anf fast data collection.

Registered Behavior Technician

The most helpful change would be for the app version to resemble a calendar as it is frustrating to use the current system.

We stuck to the contract, paid in full for the year, engaged in good faith discussions about restructuring prior to the auto renewal date, and were willing to stay on with the restructure.

When there are bugs or issues causing the entire system to essentially collapse or appointment times being changed or deleted.

early intervention specialist

It was especially disheartening during critical times when I needed everything to be seamless. Whether it was a technical glitch or an unforeseen error, the impact was noticeable.

Reporting tools could be more customizable to support audits and internal QA

Behavioral Coach

Sometimes I lost informations of my session notes for some unexpected glitches with the page.

Behavioral Technition

That each session note needs a lengthy description because most days are repetitive i would like an option of multiple choice

It helps me stay organized and improves workflow, although occasional technical issues can make it challenging at times.

The UI is friendly compared to other platforms. Whether it be collecting data, billing, or finding information regarding staff/clients.

Parent Experience Manager

The tabs are clear & I like that there are error prompts that make you aware of conflicts.

Clinical Coordinator BCBA

Visual analysis to explain to parents and take into consideration clinical decision making data driven it's amazing.

RethinkBH makes it a great way to earn CEUs for BCBA requirements and for overall growth and learning.

Well organization for patient management, scheduling and calendar.

The biggest issue for me has been the amount of glitches within the app.

Behavioral Tech

It has helped simplify operations for staff while maintaining secure and reliable service.

We need to manually adjust all the timings of each client.

Taking data and writing programs are the greatest benefits of this software, as the mobile app is very straightforward and easy to use compared to competitors.

Clinical supervisor 

The mobile app is a little difficult to navigate if there are many programs for a client.

Accel is easy to use because it is has a simple, modern user interface with the ability to switch up how the user view targets.

I like having the application on a phone it makes it easy for Therapists.

Behavior Technican

The product was very easy to use and fit all the important on one screen.
