Fort Lauderdale, Fla. – September 22, 2026 -- CentralReach has launched ReportDraftAI, an AI-assisted tool that compiles authorization, clinical and progress data into a review-ready report draft for Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), cutting a process that typically takes 9-12 hours per learner into a fraction of that non-billable time.
BCBAs spend 46% of their time on non-billable documentation, nearly double clinical guidelines
A 2025 study in Behavior Analysis in Practice found behavior analysts devote approximately 46% of their time to indirect activities such as reporting, data analysis and treatment plan development, against a recommended 25-30%. The same documentation load correlates with burnout: 72% of ABA practitioners report medium-to-high burnout tied to reporting demands.
Reauthorization reporting occurs twice yearly per learner and consumes up to 12 hours each time
Every learner requires reauthorization reporting at least twice a year, forcing BCBAs to assemble authorization details, clinical data, progress metrics and assessments to demonstrate medical necessity. CentralReach says most of that 9-12 hour process is spent on administrative tasks — finding, copying and transferring data — rather than clinical judgment.
ReportDraftAI auto-populates drafts from existing CentralReach records, leaving clinical review to BCBAs
Clinicians select a learner, report template and reporting period; the tool then pulls authorization, service, clinical, target-level and assessment data already stored in CentralReach into a structured draft. BCBAs retain full control, applying clinical interpretation, documenting medical necessity and adding recommendations before using built-in comment and signature workflows for supervisors and caregivers, then publishing directly from the platform.
"What excites me about ReportDraftAI is that it takes on the administrative work without taking away clinical autonomy,
