FARMINGTON HILLS, MI, June 22, 2026 – Centria Autism, a leading national provider of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy services for children with autism and their families, has announced the launch of its Family Connect App – a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform designed to pull back the curtain on the clinical environment, giving parents and caregivers visibility and unparalleled transparency into their child’s daily therapy sessions.
“We believe that parents shouldn’t have to wonder what happens behind closed doors during their child’s therapy,” said Timothy Yeager, Chief Clinical Officer at Centria Autism. “True progress is built on trust, and trust requires visibility. Our goal with the Family Connect App is to provide absolute transparency, offering families a clear window into their child’s day so they can see exactly how skills are being built and how their child is thriving.”
The Family Connect App features a suite of tools designed to make the clinical process visible, measurable and accessible:
- Daily Session Transparency: A Daily Activity Tracker that offers immediate insights into what occurs during therapy, including updates on meals, toileting and essential supplies. It also tracks “Happy, Relaxed and Engaged” (HRE) levels, letting families see exactly how their child is feeling throughout their session.
- Open-Line Care Team Communication: Direct messaging with their care team, allowing parents to ask questions, receive immediate updates and maintain an open dialogue about session dynamics.
- Clear Scheduling Control: Simplified scheduling and rescheduling capabilities that keep families informed of appointment timelines through immediate push notifications.
By lifting the veil on daily sessions, the app transforms parents from passive observers into active partners. Knowing precisely which skills were worked on each day allows families to confidently reinforce those exact techniques at home, creating a unified and transparent ecosystem of care.
As part of Centria’s ongoing commitment to data transparency, the platform will soon expand to empower families with advanced clinical visibility. Upcoming feature integrations currently in development include:
- Structured Parent Data Collection: Parents will soon have low-burden, mobile-first tools to securely record data on home behavior goals, generalization progress and interfering behaviors.
- Contextual Monthly Progress Summaries: The app will automatically generate monthly summaries translating clinical targets, tracked metrics and cumulative milestones into plain language. This provides families with clear, recurring insight into historical trends and long-term treatment progress without navigating complex clinical jargon.
- Flexible Scale Surveying: A built-in, self-service survey engine will enable clinical leadership to deploy targeted outcome and satisfaction measures directly inside the interface, tracking family engagement trends over time to continuously elevate care.
The Family Connect App is the latest initiative from Centria Autism to champion data transparency and clinical excellence. By prioritizing open communication and measurable insight, Centria continues to elevate industry standards.
Previous data-driven operational improvements have already allowed clinical staff to supervise 28% more therapy hours while drastically improving clinical outcomes — with Centria patients achieving a +1.82 Vineland score gain compared to the industry’s average -4.45 decline.
The Family Connect App is available for download through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store today.
